I read some reviews on them last year when I was looking. The concensus I got was that were only o.k., fairly toughand slow but only average or slightly below in most test categories. They weren't cheap either. I'd stick with the proven, reliable brands such as Yamaha, Honda, Kawi, Suzuki or, now, maybe the newer CanAm's. Heck, I'd get a Polaris Sportsman over a JD.
