You just have to be careful when in the D2 mode if you are stuck in the mud. I've heard that the high revs of spinning the wheels in D2 mode has been tearing up some of the tranny's. Just hear say I own a 05 kaw praire 700 it's a good bike , contemplated buying a honda rincon also but just could not pass up the deal at $6000 on the kaw. Have fun shoping around and check out all the models. Good Luck
