Thread: Quad, with power steering ?

Has anyone here had experience driving any of these ?
Would like to know if it's a feature that just sounds good, or works in the real world
Cheers, Red.

It definitely works mate, stops the shock loading through the bars on rough ground.
Makes bigger days in the saddle a lot easier

Cool info folks :thumbup: I'm considering the latest 500 Suzuki Vinson . . . . good field day deals to be had. . .

There is

hows that rhino going brads? we had one, good amount of grunt but lots of things to go wrong with them... rolled yours yet? pretty top heavy i found haha.
We have a john deer gator diesel now that doesnt have the power but is a bit bigger, goes quite well.

As for power steering, it is awesome! takes a bit of getting used to but is really good for driving one handed spotlighting and for 4wd etc

Yamaha?

Yes the PS does work very well on the new bikes. Just another thing to go wrong too though

Rhino is great mate
She"s no power house compared to a. 750 quad.
Awesome for hunting & taking the baby out on the farm.
Have found to very stable, more than a quad, lower and wider. Rolled it once but my bad I slipped of a track.
We've had for maybe two years only cost has been servicing no majors yet...

Had two Suzuki's they were both dispirins and dissolved in water... Mind you fair while ago... Last TRX was a 2000 350cc. Had it from 2007 to 2013 serviced and a good clean once a year lost $500.00 when sold with two people
fighting over it and not even advertised Hondas do tend to keep their value a bit... Just they are so bloody dear to buy . Mate milks 450 + cows. Went Suzuki based on price two years ago. Just replaced that with a new Suzuki again. Realises they last him two years not three or four like the Hondas ... This new (2011) one of ours is gross overkill for what it needs to do but in saying that will last 10 yrs easily and is great to ride.... Plus working next door to a bike shop I see things all day plus get the good run down from the boys who work there .. Some stories of two year old bikes needing heaps spent on them are scary ... Not Hondas either ...
Apparently the rats do really like the taste of the wiring on the newer Hondas.. Not a problem as we have none but for some it could be ..
I just kinda like the Hondas and always have ..

heres the beast you need

| Can-Am Australia

Had a can am atv, workers hated it, felt like crap to ride, traded in after 6 months.

well ive got both the honda 420 and the can-am 500 ive found that the honda is a distance behind next new one will be another can-am more ground clearance wider and longer wheel base more stable better shocks just alround better and more bang for your buck
hey thats only my opinion and it also comes with winch not that i ve needed to use it cause i aint got stuck yet

Hondas are not worth their price. At landcorp we had only Hondas until they went through the roof in cost. A few Can am's were bought when I left. But the 420s were poo for fueling problems! 500s were good when towing a trailer load, but expensive and quite thirsty, one of the boys was using a tank of gas before mid afternoon each day
