Its our first Quad. Well, I suppose its not really “mine” as much as Mrs. Bernse’s, who needs one for work (she is a surveyor). But! I’ll be able to take it out for cruises in the bush when the desire hits me. We got a sweet deal too. Its a 2002, with only 17 hours(!!) on it and a 2000lb Warn Winch. Its still just like new, not even a scratch. But we saved over $2K.
I’ve always been a Honda guy and have owned their cars, motorcycles and lawnmowers with never a problem… although its safe to say that this will be treated rougher than any of their other vehicles we have owned, but I suppose its built for it.
Forgot to say (I’m sure you’re all on the edges of your seats by now), its got the coolest transmission too. Push-button electric. On the left handlebar are up/down arrows, and thats what you shift with. I’ve never seen anything like it. When I took it for a quick spin last night, I kept hunting for the gear shift with my left foot. Its really intuitive to use.
