I picked up one of these buggars yesterday:



Still breaking it in so I'm taking it easy, but so far it's a hell of a good time. Much more fun on the trails than the 4runner is.

Here is mine:

 

get a 85 honda 350 3 wheeler for maybe 1400 then use the rest for upgrades for ur rig!

 

nice quad, didnt see there was a 2nd page

 

one of my friends has a 450 and a 660 and the 450 will just kill the totally moded out 660 on the track and dunes all day, and i have a 300ex and i really wish i would have gone bigger but it was fun to start with and little harder to get in trouble with

 

I got a Zuk 230cc quadsport with big bore kit that makes it 260cc. While I would like maybe 200cc more or so, 260cc is more than enough for my purposes. The ATV is smaller but it has the power to pull all kinds of fun stuff (note: stuff one shouldnt be doing on an atv unless you got expierance) and it is pretty quick.

Nothing is quick as a 2 stroke, but they are dirty, noisy and it gets annoying mixing gas up unless you have one that you add oil separately and it mixes for ya.

 

ltr450 if you go with a sport, i gaurantee its the best 450 sport out there.


:edit: opps sorry didnt see you already bought one. good choice btw thats what i would pick if i went with a bigger engine.

 

Scofco,

The Rhino's are nice. When I worked @ a Yamaha dealership we took one of those out. We were just amazed @ how well it did. Couldn't get it stuck.

 

Scofco, did you get the 08 EFI? Tempting indeed. Seems they fixed the somewhat small "wish list" of Rhino improvements everybody was hoping for.

I was getting ready to pull the trigger on a Rhino but then opted to spend 3g's on my 4Runner instead... so I can drive to the trail, drive the trail, camp on the trail and drive home all with one vehicle.

But the Rhino's are hella fun.

BTW, my 06 YFZ450 will spank Raptors, LTR's, and even some mildly modded Banshees. A full on Banshee can blast up a hill though... straight line only stuff.

 

The Rhino's look nice and fun, but I just can't justify spending that kind of money for a unit that I'd freeze my nut$ off in winter. When I saw the sticker price ($30000+ Cdn.) for a new Rhino I just about laughed myself out of the store. I could get an old beat up Yota for 2 grand, put in some lockers and stay dry in the summer, warm in the winter and be able to go everywhere the Rhino does. And I could use it in town to do all sorts of other useful stuff, and I wouldn't have to trailer it out to the off road area. I just don't get it. But then again to each his own I guess.

 

I paid $14,000 for my 08 700 FI after taxes and hidden costs.

Taking my 4runner down trails isn't as fun as it used to be, it's getting tired and untrustworthy. This thing is WAYYY more fun than my truck ever was.

Spent 3 hours on it yesterday in -10 and snowing. It was way too fun.

 

$14000 can be justified for some, but the ones I saw were $30000+ for the 08's. The 07's were on sale for $24500, plus all taxes. No doubt the Rhino's are fun though. I still prefer the heat my vehicle throws out when it is cold out and I am wheelin' in the mountains during winter. I guess I am a wimp.

I can hardly wait to make it up to the Yukon, you live in an awesome place Scofco. I envy where you live.

Cheers

 

This is the ATV I want and should be capable of 10s in the 1/4 mile.

 

Full cabs are a reasonable price and they also make heaters for them.

There is some beer waiting for you if you ever make it.

I'm loving this thing for trail riding, almost all trails up here are ATV trails, so driving the 4runner down them just isn't practical. Now I can explore all kinds of areas I have never been able to before now.

 

I think I'll be taking you up on your beer offer sometime over the next 2-3 years. Looking forward to it.

Cheers

 

Got to really work it yesterday and was blown away. Took it to a lake that the 4Runner can't get to due to the narrowness of the trail. This used to be a 3 hour bike ride for me, now it's a 40 minute Rhino ride.

Kept right up to the other ATV's in the group without a problem. Loving it!

 

Yeah, i've got 2 Honda 400EXs. Everything he said is true, fun to ride, very popular, and a very easy to fix
