Great machine

I bought this machine just before Christmas of 2008 brand new off the showroom floor. Got the metallic black plastics. I am very happy with how this machine performs. It meets or exceeds my expectations. I was a little worried about having the automatic because I occasionally pull loads with my quad...s, wood, etc.., but I have worked this machine this winter and it has showed no signs of weakness. I got a plow at the same time, and it performs very well. This machine will push or pull anything you give it. Fairly fast for a utility type machine as well. I've done about 70 MPH on mine. The four wheel drive is also just as awesome as ever coming from Yamaha. Plently of power for work or play. The fuel injection is a whole new world of performance if it's your first. The power steering really does make a lot of difference on the trails as far as dampening the trail without losing feeling for the terrain. It also helps out greatly with plowing and towing. Low range has lots of power without being annoyingly slow. All around you couldn't ask for more machine for your money, and in my opinion it will do everything right in stride with the more expensive 700. Read Full Review

Wow!!!! Not too much more to say. This thing is the absolute best atv I have ever owned. The only and I mean only issue I have with it is the low end power is lacking a little bit but once it revs up a bit its not an issue anymore. Kudos to the makers of this great quad. Read Full Review
