not so pros

A buddy of mine has one...good 4-wheeler.

Had road bikes before but never a Quad....Always better to hear something from a owner rather than hear say. Thanks

Anyone had anything to do with a Yamaha 350 big bear ? have a chance on a local 1 owner one.

If your planning on keeping a wagon hitched to the bike its better to use one with a solid rear axle. Having the hitch connected to the axle instead of the frame doesnt squat the suspension.

An irs bike with a heavy tongue weight will lighten the front end and make it harder to steer.

Big Bear has a solid rear...same as the landrover 90 's iv had , carrying a load you dont end up with the diff closer to the ground. Never thought of that with a Quad..thanks for that info .

I chose my eiger for several reasons. The solid rear axle, a mechanical 2-4wd engage and the high/low gearing.

This bike has been great so far. Has plenty of grunt for what I use it for.

What is an eiger?

This pic is a couple yrs old but nonetheless, still have it. An '02 Kodiak 400 4x4. It's the YFM400 model...the only year Yamaha put a racing piston in a Kodiak. It'll fly, and will climb a tree in 4-wheel lo if you can get a tire on it.

Very nice indeed ...Looked after they last well, are good and reliable i should think.

Pretty good bear pic. My last one was an indistinct black blur of his head sticking up in the middle of a bean field. Usually I hear a "Woof!" and followed by crashing though the undergrowth.

Maybe I should have a GTG.....

Today's project.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess there aren't any Polaris Sportsman quads in Europe? I've had a couple Hondas and a couple 500 Sportsmans. I feel both are good machines, but for 2 totally different reasons.
Also, nothing wrong with a Yamaha like you're looking at, but I have no personal experience with that model

We do have the Polaris range here and a friend has a 2 seater with a cab and the tipper bed on the back ..Drooool !
Have seen a few about in the Quad bike form as well ... they are highly thought of ..but .. im only able to get a cheeeeep bike due to cost . Most of the ATV market is Agri and estate usage, not much recreation usage.
