No doubt it is one of a kind, but that is not what this thread is about.:confused: Good points though.

The thread is about what is best for him... not what is the better machine. We all know the answer to #2.

cdalepilot, I am not trying to say that your opinion is wrong, but like thomez said it is about what is best for me!

I know the others all ready discussed the "for him" thing but I wanted to throw my .02 in that being I agree with what your saying about all the benefits and tech that was put into these quads and how it seriously burns my butt everytime I see someone going off about the new yami or honda like there has never been anything like it before etc.
One lesson I have learned here is that you can have a superior performing product with better customer support and a better value for the dollar and still not be able to sell enough of them to be profitable, but a inferior product with better marketing can do very well.
