You're right Marc, I want one! What a great idea for an ATV. My 500 c.c.
Honda "Foreman" is a real work horse and it can climb more than I care or
dare to climb. It's olive green and black from the factory, sorta looks
military. Maybe if it had, some brown paint on it, a pintle hook,
instead of...lol Nah, it is what is it...but it is fun and has more
power than we will ever use. These ATV's are a big improvement over the
military Mules, but in fairness the old Mules did wonders for a lot of
years.
