Definetly spend the money! After riding it today and really testing her out I love this quad! I have never loved a quad, not even my Raptor. I have liked them a lot but I LOVE this quad! I can not describe what a thrill this thing is to ride. Today around a 1 mile track w/ lots of turns I was smoking the DS EVERYTIME! This thing handles awesome. It is like I am on rails. In the woods I was flowing, I thought it has better low end than my 01 Raptor. I could fly up and down the hills in the woods and out of the woods! So much power. This thing absolutly rips and is worht every penny! I feel like I ripped Yamaha off for how awesome this quad is and the price I paid for it, after riding it all day today! Only problem is the shifter sticks sometimes after running her hard, which I am not sure why? :?
