They have the same engine but that is about it. If you are going to do some fast trail rides, the Eiger would be the one. The AC will out do it every time in utility and work. It has better racks with MRP, more suspension travel & IRS, great ground clearance, etc. I had a 2004 400 and loved it. Good luck!

I'm also looking at this atv.
decent price for an 06 auto 4wd[not a 2wd], see if you can find an 05[non current] ,no difference, picked up a manual last nov. for 3750otd . if buying as an out of stater you shouldnt pay sales tax until[and if you need to] you register for title or riding tags

That is an ok deal with the Suzuki, dont know much about the AC deal. I know that the auto in the eiger is goning to be about $200-$300 more, (that is what it was when I bought mine.) You could look for used but new has a warranty, I like that. Since you are buying two, whom ever you choose tell them to give you a deal like $10,000 out the door for both if you choose the eiger. I know out here in AZ some places will deal. I love my eiger goes every where. I would go with the eiger and take the extra money that you save and get some upgrades like a winch, or metal skid plates. Both are good machines, suzuki makes the motor. Hope this helps.

Hey guys I am looking and leaning toward one of these two. I have rode the artic cat and it was ok but havent got to ride the eiger but hear good things about it. Me and my wife are buying two new wheelers and I think this is the two. She needs and auto and both have this. I went to my local dealers and at the suzuki dealer he offered me an eiger with 4 wheel drive auto for 5500 out the door. At the Artic Cat dealer they offered me 6100 out the door for a 4 wheel drive auto. Now the Cat did have independent rear suspension and 4 wheel disk brakes so it did offer more. Are these good prices and what does everyone think on the two as far as choices?

The 5500 would be the sales tax which is 9 percent here. And all the other BS they charge.

What dealer in oklahoma are you using area? I live in north Louisiana and am not scared to drive to Oklahoma for that good of a deal.

Where did you buy yours at oper2? That sounds like a great deal.

Well I have checked everywhere and the 5500 is the best I can do on the eiger auto 4 wheel drive within 150 miles. I can drive to Oklahoma and save about 300 but I guess I will just buy local. I have decided on the eiger.

Well I finally got the best deal by persistance. I called the dealer in Texarkana TX and told him the dealer in Kentwood would sell it for 4899. He went and asked the owner if he could beat it and he come back at 4799 OTD. I finally feel like I am getting a great deal. Going to pick it up thursday.

I just purchaced a new 06 Eiger manual last month for $4399 plus tax and tags, total was around $4700, central Pennsylvania, Dealer: Cernics, Duncansville Pa. The auto was $200 more, the Vinson manual was $5199, auto was $5399. My first choice was the Yamaha Big Bear but every dealer wanted over $5000, now im happy I picked the Eiger over the Big Bear. The Eiger is a good machine I abuse mine, hit a tree, banged the bottom over rocks, it took vertical hill climbs that I never thought it could make, plus its stingy on gas, I had it out a full day running it non stop for 65 miles and it only used 1/4 tank of fuel.

Congradulations, you got a good machine, everytime I take my Eiger out I try and try to get it stuck on purpose and I never did. I make my own paths thru the woods, it goes over downed trees and rocks that surprizes me, I shift it in and outta 4x4 while moving in gear, its a perfect size going thru narrow trails and in between trees and hauling on the back of my truck and its really stingy on gas, ride with anybody else and they will run outta gas before you do. I had a choice in 3 colors black, red and green, I picked the black.

Bartlesville, Ok , about hour north of Tulsa, OK
www.bartlesvillecyclesports.com
And their pricing is all online. We don't have tax on ATV's here in OK, so you might still have to pay tax in your state if you have to register your atv's. We don't have to. I like the way they price everything up front, it is hard to beat their prices on what they have.

Sorry about bringing this old thread back to life. However, it's relevant to my question. I'm considering buying a 4x4 Eiger Manual Shift. Both Bartlesville Cycle and Unique Powersports have the same price on an '06 at $4411 OTD. For those with experience, how is the buying experience at these dealers? If I am an Oklahoma resident and I buy in Oklahoma do I have to pay tax?
