now that you've had the rzr for a few weeks how would rate its overall driving experiance to a buggy(suspension, jumpnig, cornering, tippyness, etc.). i'm still on the fence between an sr21100($8500 delivered) and an rzr(10000). i've had my fl350 for years and the rzr seems so tall and exposed when i sit in at the dealer. any help is appreciated. mike

i am soooo jealous!!! in a year or so, i should be in a position to purchase a new or at least used rzr, but we'll see... with a kid onthe way, that may throw a big wrench in the werks, but i got my pennies and dimes!!!

tell me about it. i buy a toy once every 5 years, it's got to be the right one. got one going into university in a year so this may the last of my "five year plans" for quite a while, choose wisely...
rzr is so easy to pick but just not sure it'll handle without being tippy. this is for myself and my little one(6) so it has to be safe. has to "feel" safe too. the rzr has no side protection in a roll and 3 point belts, what were they thinking? buggy may be too big for most trails and trail systems though? the trail legal issue is the only thing really pushing me towards an rzr. we're hoping to do some trips such as hatfield mcoy and the like.

I have not really had a chance to use it yet. I rode around the neighborhood a little when we had a foot of snow which is very unusual for our area. I have an ATV park near me but it is closed for the winter. Unless I drive to the coast I don't have a place to ride it right now. I can't gve much of a report at this time. I have ran it through an empty lot down the street and it does not give as nice a ride as the LJ Tech buggy does over the same terrain. That is not much of a test so that is all i can tell you for now.

I've had mine out for a couple of runs (snows to deep now) and I was surprised by how stable it is. I'm sure it's easy enough to tip if you get carried away, but then I've flipped my carts ofter enough. What has really impressed me though was the maneuverability through the woods. I was worried about it because it's so long compared to the Karts. The turning circle on this is much smaller than my 250cc 2 seater. I have yet to find a spot that my kart could get through that this can't. With the long wheel base you can get high centered at the top of a steep hill with a sharp break over at the top. A little throttle application just before you go over the top fixes that problem though. Just make sure you know what's on the other side!

well i picked up an rzr yesterday. so far it seems like a really nice machine, haven't had the chance to really run it yet so we'll see. goes great in the snow and the wife and kid love it so half the battle has already been won. once the snow clears we'll see how it does against the fl350. should be fun running them against each other, very different feel to each one. mike
