That would be the thing with buying one. You know everyone at the dealership is dying to ride one. You know that the minute the first arrival is uncrated, there will be a line of mechanics and salesmen forming to ride it.


If I had a deposit on one, I would tell them I need to see it uncrated. If not, refund my deposit.

that is great. and i would want people to ride the quad before i just buy it becuase then they can tell what they think of it. and it might inspire that person to get one so thats a good thing i think. then i would like to see the smile on there face after they rode it. then you can say you don't got one and i do. lol:D

and if any thing was broke on it when i got it. i would just tell them to fix then i will get so no problem here

Sorry guys, unfortunately I don't have any pics to prove I rode a 450R. If you don't believe me thats cool, at least I know the truth. Those are awesome bikes though! I was kinda being a weanie about it yesterday when I first hopped on but when I really decided to get on it I just about wheelied it over backwards. Guess I should have been more prepared for the power than I was. I also found it was extremely easy to kick over which surprised me. I like the way it looks except for the front plastic, needs more of a nose underneath those lights. Anyways, I now know that I will definitely be getting the new Honda instead of the Yamaha. The employee discount helps alot too, not just the fact that it feels like it has more power.

Ya I'm at I 90 but I got it from RMC. They pissed me off at work so I bought it elsewhere. That was the only one they got in at RMC and we have got one at I 90 but I think there are already deposits down on it but I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure I'm heading for Sand Lake for Sunday and Monday. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome.
