Go to the Highlifter website. They talk about all of these 4x4s. If I were you I would get the Arctic Cat. My buddy just got one and we put 27" outlaws, a lift, and wheels and that thing is huge! I am pretty positive it does have the same motor as the vinson but it sure is alot nicer atv due to irs

Hollywood, I would go with the foreman 500.

Cain't beat the dependability. With the Perfex suspension upgrade, it rides very much better.

Hollywood, I forgot another thing I don't like about the IRS.  Have you seen me put the bike on two wheels on the side?  You can't do that w/ the IRS.  I would agree w/ everyone that it does make for a nice ride.  But it does have some limitations.

You can do that with IRS All Day long The only Down Fall To a IRS is that its 2 more axles to replace!

Yea I've been doing some reading on there checking things out.  ;) That's where I am leaning right now. I really like the AC500 too and even though the IRS is nice I really don't see where I would need it that much plus that's just more stuff to break. Got to love the simplicity and reliabilty of the old air cooled, straight axle Foreman.

I have driven all 4 of them and i think the cat can get through the most .

Ground clearance is the key to the big IRS bikes . I have a Cat 500 man . Locking diff , huge gas tank ..put on a set of 27's jet kit and it becomes an extremely capable machine .But the little hondas are great quads also .I just think the 500 Cat is a great quad ! And I'm saying purely as an enthusiast .

lol You guys are making this a tough decision! Honestly what I have read so far on the Cat I am not impressed....broken diff. housings, broken axles and poor customer service for repairs. Not exactly what I am looking to get into.  ::)
