Hi from Memphis tn /N miss area. First thanks for all the great info or thought provoking areas while I looked for my first and then second atv. I had 2004 bought in pristine shape used and was wonderful for a year and a half. Of course you can’t have anything without thief breaking into your barn and stealing it. This time there were just so few 04-09 bikes that I had confidence in. If they were good shape it was top dollar. So I was looking at newer models -13 or 14 and it was very much a buyers market. My one hang up was did I have to have power steering? Drove one and it was nice but worried would it be a problem and not very many of those available. Anyway, after months I got I think roof deal. A young guy had sunk his income tax return into a new foreman and needed the money for for life stuff. So I bought his 2016 foot shift foreman, black alloy ss rims and itp lite (xr or some initials) winch, 9 months of warrenty 300 miles for 5300.

Looking forward to learning more from others about owning newer bikes. Thanks again for all the help.
