Yeah, a buddy at work showed that to me on some college forum. I'll see if I can find the link 'cause it has a larger color picture.

Looks pretty much unuseable... think about how messed up the weight balance is...

When you have that much torque to weight ratio, when you accelerate, everything is shifted to the rear contact points.

There is a reason why the New Zealand ATV governing body has excluded this ATV from competition. It states that it has an unfair advantage over the competitors.

One other thing is if you look closely, there is no radiator up front. He has routed all coolant into the body tube frame to act as a radiator, this helps shift the wight to the rear.

It actually has a better weight distrobution than the cars it is based uppon.

Still one heavy assed ATV though.
