I have the 2003 Kodiak 450 and love it. I shot a moose last year and had 2 hind quarters, 1 front quarter, head/horns, my wife(130), and my buddy 240, along with my self (230), all on at one time. It was not lacking for power one bit. We had some pretty rugged trails to get out on and had a little trouble once in a while kepping it from tipping over, but a slow pace got us out safe. The rims were almost on the ground. Great machine for everything.
