Anyone have one of these creations they look really cool, i think i will go rent one next summer for a day.
If you do where in CO do you like to ride, they look great for wide open spaces but are they still fun on normal atv trails?

Taylor park, 4 mile in Buena vista , tarryall , rabbit valley.
They are a kick in the pants, also expensive.

I've got an arctic cat wildcat and have a blast with it. I've wheeled it on a bunch of jeep trails in Colorado, spent 2 weeks in the hammers in California, Ran a big list of trails in Moab that I wouldn't take a jeep on 35's on, and this last weekend I just took it to Hogans offroad park in Disney, OK.

I competed professionally in rock crawling for 10 years, and bang for the buck there is no way you can beat a side by side.

the rzr 800 (not the S model) is only 50'' wide, still fits 2 male adults easily and is allowed on pretty much all trails and fits on all trails standard ATVs can go on. the RZR s, canams, arctic cast, teryx, rhino are all a bit wider. still fit on a lot of trails just fine though.
My mom and step dad have a new 2013 RZR 800 and it is a blast. pretty quick, goes up the trails nicely and has a smooth ride. My step dad ended up putting on a 2" lift and will put bigger tires on once the stock ones wear down.
I've had a rhino 660 and a ranger 700 and they are great machines. get up the trails just fine and are very handy if you have property

I did not realize they had narrower models of this class, i figured they were all to wide for the atv trails with the width gates.
I am going to start keeping an eye on the used market, see if a nice winter deal pops up.

I forgot that GJ has some great areas that this would be sweet on.

Oh sure that's a factory stock Razor....Not! My buddy in Elizabeth has been making custom cages and parts for Razors and other side by sides for awhile now. I got to drive his tricked out 800,it was bad ass

I went by the dealer when they opened today to see one in person, oh my goodness, they are much more bad-ass in person.
I came right home and put the transmission back in the bronco, guess what is going up for sale in a few days.

Yep those UTV's are very tempting just cost an arm, leg and your first born! BTW that that wouldn't happen to be a a 1st gen Bronco would it?

that thing is definitely badass but you could probably buy at least a new gas truck if not a diesel for the amount of $$ they have into it. My guess is 40,000.
