I don't have one but know  several people that do and I've never heard a bad thing about them. The people tha I know have put them through the ringer and love the quad.

To me, the Vinson is the best quad known to man. You cant beat it. the only difference I see between the king and the vinson is the king is bigger, a little faster and it has the diff lock. the Vinson is better in the water and just about indestructable!

This is my Vinson (and our camp) at the Mudfest last weekend. Got my 07 last November and love it. Low range, disc breaks, shaft drive, power point and dry box are all standard. All I need now is a pipe, winch and some Outlaws.
