Ive had my MXU 450i for a couple of years now and its kept in an unheated shed. It has never not started on the first stab of the button,I haven't been able to stick it, even with stock tires, and have not had 1 mechanical issue. Cant say the same for the Yamaha warrior I bought new in 96 or the wolverine I traded it in on a few years later. The closest thing to this machine reliability-wise I have had to this is a 2000 Kawasaki Bayou 300 4x4 That I bought after some jerkoff rolled it on himself in front of his wife, who promptly sold it to me for $2000.00 with 2.5 hrs on it, just had to change the front rack and bars. Oh yeah, and I bought this Kymco new, in box, for $4500.00 with a free Warn winch and 1.9 financing. Use it to plow snow in the winter with a 54" Warn front mounted blade and it never bogs down, 20"deep is deepest so far. It is very smooth and refined, although I admit the CVT transmission is weird to get used to, I am always looking to grab a gear. Bought my 6 yr old son the Mongoose 90 for his birthday, and it is the coolest little thing I've seen in a while. I cant say they are better than any of the other brands, but they defiantly are not junk and the price point makes them a great alternative to a hashed out bike that someone else already wore out. I know personally, at 45 yrs old, that my days of rebuilding a bike to go riding are over. I want get on it and go, and these are great for that. And this damn thing is pretty quick for a stock bike.....
