Although few and far between, there are some places the old burb just cant get out of. (It can get into anything, it is the gettin back out that is the hard part) For those times when 4wd just wont cut it, you have to break out the big guns. 6wd and over 12" of suspension Travel


Plus it is great, it doesnt have a windshield, so it is much easier to get a rifle or a shotgun up. Ummm, er, uh.. yeah, said a little too much, ive already had wayyyy too many run ins with the local fish cop. We are on a first name basis and I have only lived out in the country for 3 years

I don't know, looks kinda wimpy. Looks like a offroad golfcart. I've driven ATV's that seem alot more fun then that!

WIMPY??? WIMPY???? Was that a callout?????? I have driven that through crap that I have had to step UP to get out of that, and it never once crapped out. We drag trees with it. There are some that are built that look like off road golfcarts, but that thing is more like a baja cart than anything. At 40 it soaks up tree stumps and rocks like they wernt even there.




Oh yeah, we also use that as a golfcart at our local golf course. We have made it to hole 5 before they kicked us out for having a "non approved golfcart" he he he, we had all sorts of fun in the sand dunes, whoops i mean sand traps

Can you get any mods for it? The rollcage is nice but I'd add some gunmetal color steel to replace that green and black plastic. I'd also add a larger brushguard and larger tires. Can you lift the suspension and boost the engine power? And that pickup box isn't very deep, can you do something about that?
And if you do get stuck, how about adding a winch?

those tires come up to your knees (unless you are a midget) the box is used only to haul corn out to the deer feeders, and the black and green is nice, because it hides well in a stand of cedar trees. This isnt a show vehicle, it is only to get what I need done. And that is to get me in and out of where I shouldnnt be anyway. The brush guard doesnt make a damn bit of difference, we beat the **** out of that (i.e. run over 5ft trees etc.) The suspension doesnt need any lift, the approach angle is incredible on that, and the departure is even more extreme. The IFS in the front helps with the ground clearance as well.

dont even bother wasteing your time. i know for a fact that i will beat you. you probubly have a 500cc liquid cooled four stroke and i know they only have about 20hp (belive it or not thats all they got) plus there top speed is like 48 or some where around there. plus they weight around 1000lb's.

where my sled has 600cc 2 stroke with 118 hp it weights 550lb full of fuel. and i'll run a 12 second 1/4 mile stock.

i'm not dising your toy because actually i'm jealous i would love to have one of those because there cool i'm just saying mines faster

I've driven a Yamaha 660cc ATV, as far as any small 4x4 it's been my fav. If you don't want to mod your Polaris that's cool. I guess when you show'd the pics I started to get all sorts of ideas started. I do that alot, just like to mod eveything!

I cant afford to mod it. That is the problem. I have too much money in everything else I own. Guns, trucks, the girlfriend, etc.

the yamaha is not a small atv it is nice however. unless you were compareing it to 4x4 trucks. i think the yamaha got voted best 4x4 atv or it was the suzuki not sure. but it dont matter there all fun

I was comparing it to a truck (driven plenty of 4x4 Sliverados), the Yamaha is a large ATV.
