I came across this buggy on Ebay and then contacted the company for more details and prices. Anyone seen them before or heard of the company in Oregon?

Man that looks like a blast! 2.2L??? It's bound to have a shocking price tag. Wish the video on the website included some jumps and whoops. It sounded kinda rattly in the close pass-bys.

They are a blast, Very fast and nimble. Definantly not a long travel but good suspention. I spent some time with the owner this summer when he brought the buggy over to let us test ride the unit . We sugested most of the changes he made and they were a great improvement on a good machine.
They are alot like a Honda pilot only with 100 hp. A little heavy in the steering wheel, great brakes and ok suspention travel.
One odd thing "I thought" is the steering wheel and pedels are not directly in front of you ,it's almost like your setting facing twart the center of the front of the buggy. I dont know that I noticed it when driving but it felt weard while setting still.

I thought you were involved with their design, but then doubted myself when I saw they are based near the ID border in eastern OR.
I noticed they are exactly 8.5' long allowing them to be side loaded on trailers. This is what I suggested they do with the 650 and larger Joyners. With automotive engines, they should work on getting them road registered. That combination might convince me to reorganize my priorities...
How do the buggies compare in ride and power over your 800cc turbos? Can they come close to the same pricing since they do not have Chinese labor?
I wasnt really in the initial design but thats why he brought the buggy over here to the valley for a redesign and too get some help with the finer points from myself and anothersand car builder buddy of mine
My 800 turbo would leave it in any bumps bigger than 6 inches but the Cyclone has a ton more power even with the 105 hp engine, with the 2.2 ecotech it would be almost dangerous.
The dealer price was @ 10K last summer befor the redesign and I'm not sure now.
