THE ROKONS ARE ABOUT $5100 SIDECAR WAS ABOUT $1000 WHEN I BOUGHT MINE.

WENT TO DUSTY'S SITE HE SAYS $5375 FROM THE FACTORY AND $4875 FROM HIM . http://www.bakersfieldrokon.com/ HE IS IN BAKERSFEILD, CALIF. BUT SEEMS I READ HE HAS A PLACE ON THE EAST COAST ALSO. TYPICALLY YOU CAN GET A BETTER DEAL FROM THE DEALERS THAN THE FACTORY THEY HAVE A WEB SITE AS WELL AND THERE IS AT LEAST ONE OTHER REAL GOOD SITE ( MESSAGE BOARD) LOTS OF GREAT INFO AT THAT SITE AS WELL AS DUSTYS. IF INTERESTED CONTACT DUSTY EVEN IF HE IS NOT REAL CLOSE . I HAVE NO INTEREST IN DUSTY'S BUSINESS BUT HAVE DEALT WITH HIM AND HE IS VERY GOOD TO DEAL WITH.
EARLIER I STATED 60 DEGREE AND I THINK THAT WAS WHAT THEY SAID IN THE COMPANY ADVERTISING BUT I GUESS IT IS 60% GRADE.
THEY WEIGH ONLY 200 LBS SO THEY ARE EASIER TO MUSCLE AROUND THAN THE 4 WHEELERS.

Just traded my 2000 Polaris 335 sportsman in on a 05 sportsman 800 last night. Have only rode it to load onto my trailer at the dealer's. That will change shortly.

I really like it, but I'm still getting learning to be lighter on the throttle. Same size as my old 335 just LOTS more horsepower. I used to run out of power with the 335 but I doubt that will happen with this one. This one almost has too much power. A quick jump on the throttle will bring the front end off the ground. If it wasn't as heavy as it is, it would probably flip without some rider weight on the front end.

Other than horsepower out the wazoo the biggest advantage is the fuel injection system doesn't need to be choked or have to warm up to get full power. When you let go of the key you are ready to go.

I used to get left in the dust by a few riding buddies with machines in the 500 range. That won't be happening anymore.

Almost want it to snow just so I can plow with it....On second thought I can wait 'til next winter. I'm ready for 70+degrees for a while

Here's my beast. First ATV, picked up this spring for $100 from the original owner. I won't hunt off of it as most of the places I hunt are closed to ATV's (not that seems to stop many around here) and when I get an elk down its a call to a friend to get horses, but it is a fun ride and a nice little tractor to have around the place.

What kind of ATV do I ride?

I've got a 04 1/2 Polaris Sportsman 600 with the 2500 lb Warn Winch, Gun Boot IV and most importantly a trailer hitch ball
"CHROME OF COURSE"... It runs wonderfully, has never let me down. See you on the trail!

I sold my Kawasaki 400 Bayou last summer after many years of riding. I also own an Arctic Cat 500 Auto and a Yamaha Grizzly 660. Love the Grizzly but not too crazy about the Cat.
