Tangent, OR | Suzuki Vinson 500, as i've said here, no comparison . These are head and shoulders above the others for a 5-speed bike. Bought this after Dad got the quadrunner 500 which is the predecessor to this one. New tires are a must, the stock tires are trash. Mine has a pipe, jet, Goodyear mudrunner tires (stock size), and full skidplates and will play with the 700' cc bikes. Mine is a 5 speed, high/low range. They are now replaced by a 450cc fuel injected model. The Suzuki's were less than the hondas and had more features when dad got his in '98. I bought mine lightly used in '06 and havent had a problem yet in 1500 miles. I could use bigger tires, this runs out of clearance making ditches in the winter which is why it now has 200' of winch cable so i have a better chance of reaching something once I bottom out. It is a good water and oil cooled workhorse, then it will play hard when you go off the farm. Suzuki motors are faultless, we have had issues with the old one's rear-end going out related to corrosion of the aluminum housing from fertilizer. And some electrical problems that I think were fertilizer related as well. It pulls a ground driven spreader where it's too wet for the floaters to come out.
Take a close look at the Suzukis, I've spent ample time on comperable Hondas, polaris, and the JD Bucks, and there is no comparison. Tighter turning radius too.
