so putting all my thoughts and info together for the final decision. the 400ho is a real good sporty quad and vey quick and fast. its really nice on trails do to the irs suspension and the 4wheel drive with the visco-lock works great!!! its one of the best mid-size atv out there with a lot more power in its class compare to others. its quick and fast enough to keep up and pass most of the 500cc atvs. from other peoples remarks it basically runs like a 500cc machine. im going to love this machine and its power and speed for a utility quad. it runs smooth and quick and im going to be impress with it. so i know that it has speed and the ride is soft how is it in the mud? if you can rate these 1 to 10

Mud?
acceleration?
irs is it smooth?
visco-lock how it works?
lights are they bright?
handeling?

lights are they bright5
handeling 9

about the lights they say its 35% brighter. is this true does anybody have an 07 can-am? and thanks shmiggy for the review hoping for some more.

The 07 lights are way brighter than the older style lights, atleast 35% brighter.

I thought the pre '06 lights were OK. They are better than the Kodiak

ok well im going to make sure i get an 07 if there that much brighter. i thought i read something about that.

Sylvania silverstars are even brighter than 08's, they fit right in the stock headlights with a little help.

is it a tight squeeze?
