Mid-size ATV fuel injected, liquid cooled?
Who makes a liquid cooled fuel injected mid-sized atv?
I know polaris does, but I hate the look and all the plastic, does anyone else?
I want these key features in a smaller atv, not sure how/why atv's have become HUGE! over the years...?
I know to put in food plots etc...all I need to do is bring a guy into the woods maybe haul out a deer etc....if I ever need to put in crops I'll buy a new one, since that's many years away.
I also don't need to do 120mph, 40mph is plenty fast, not racing this thing here.
Doesn't anyone else want something of this configuration?

Yamaha has just come out with a 550 (mid size) with power assist steering that would meet your criteria. It's the little brother to their 700 ...which is a dandy.

I dont mind plastic farings etc....but plastic racks....i can't stand, so much prefer the tubular steel racks. That's what I was referring to.

Bought a new ranger 700for my place of work. tryed out all diff. makeslike the john deer (sucked) . Has alot of power for putting plots in. cool thing is you can buy a kit to make it strret legal to get plated. also put steel tubing to help protect the sides and front/back. the one thing that made the desicion is we tested them up and down a sand dune and the only one that couldmake it up and stop in the middle and continue was the ranger.

Sounds like you want to do what I do. I have a Suzuki Vinson 500....Bullet Proof....does EVERYTHING......but they have made a few improvments and called it a 450 King Quad now....thats my opinion.

Ive got a Honda Rancher 420, fuel injection, liquid cooled, electric shift,(not belt driven automatic) selectable 4x4, and has metal racks, along with the dependability of Honda. I love it and it is a powerhouse compared to comparable sized atvs.. You wont be disappointed,, and the price is pretty decent too.
