    Make sure you fit in it. They have a very small cab area that is a pain to get into and out. They are under powered but for some they are enough. They are reliable and a decent machine if it fits your needs.

    I had one for several years and it was a tough reliable machine. Took it on a elk hunt in Colorado and it was amazing. Having said this I would prefer the 660 cc for the extra power and speed.

    We get asked about used ones all the time at work. One of the most beloved side by sides ever made.
