That's what everyone who has ridden one seems to say, I was reading in the forums and it seems llike lots of guys riding other brands said that which is unusual. Normally guys just pump up the machine they own.
Guys don't mind sayin that a certain quad is better as long as it is more expensive which it is. Having said that... check out the DS 450 they are a close 2nd (with a pipe/intake) and quite a bit cheaper. At lease they were when I bought mine.
