When the 05 atv models come out I will be purchasing a new atv. This is what I am look for:
500 manual 4*4
locking diff.
efi
What it to be fast enough to hang with friends and family members on the trails having fun but also be a workhorse on the ranch. (going through flooded creeks, pulling heavy objects and going through the mud) Also will be taking it once a year to Co for hunting trips
Any ideas on what kind I should get?

Thanks allot,
eazy

The only 500 4x4 EFI that I heard about for 05 is kawa 500 v-twin EFI 4x4 prairie with locking front diff. But I think it will be automatic, not manual. This is what my dealer told me, but I am not sure how accurate it is. He also said that kawa was bumping their 700 v-twin 4x4 prairie up to 750cc EFI and offer IRS as well as the straight axial. Just what I have heard......have to wait and see. I believe artic cat has a 500cc 4x4 manual with locking front diff. and IRS right now. You might want to check it out. Good luck.

You might want to go to each quad manufactures web site and look at each quad specs to compare before you actually go to a dealer. Trust me, most dealers will say they have the best quad and they usually do that by putting down other quads. When a salesman did that with me, I walked out. Good luck.
