I've driven this ride many times , Two of my buddies have them and my brother. They are a very nice Quad. They don't have all the goodies others have but has everything and will do everything you need.  Check for good prices though. Compare prices cuz there are others with the goodies that would be considerable for not too much more, Unless you can get it cheap enough to make it worth it.

Since they came along with the King Quad 450, I'd look that machine instead of the Eiger.

I now have the 450 KQ and I am very happy with the handling.  It gave me excellent service for the Utah trip, and it just made it's first H/M trip for the QC Fall Ride.  It is very comfortable, easy steering, great gas mileage and it zipped up every area the bigger machines did and without any hesitation.  

The only problem I am having is with a squeaky belt but it has been checked and the belt doesn't show any wear.  I believe this situation will be resolved soon and if it is, I will be 100% satisfied with the 450 KQ.

I must admit I would prefer to be driving a Honda if they offered IRS and EFI on an automatic ATV.  

Good luck in making your decision....

I have one with over 2000 miles on it.
It is not the fanciest atv but very dependable.

From what we have seen on these machines is that they have weak crankshafts. Now this could also have been due to rider abuse.  Have had a few this season with this problem. But overall , other than replacing brakes and front wheel bearings, it seems to be a decent machine. Most of our customers who own them are pleased.
