My brother is wanting to buy a quad.
(I have converted him from 2 wheels to 4!) I have an LTZ 400 and love it. Any feedback on the 525 would be great. Problems/maintenance etc.

The polaris seem fairly popular and having IRS makes them nice a cushy to ride in the rough stuff. I rode my mates outlaw IRS and it was very nice bike and had plenty of power with the KTM motor.

Personally Im with Chev on this one stick to the jap bikes mate!

for a reason
kawasaki engines for most application normally have more power than there opposition in stock form but lack there quality in workmanship than the others, not saying there bad just not as good as the big 3. This is just another opinion though from previous experences of had
