The 500es LWB is a great ATV for the money. Good strong reliable engine I have been driving it around the Spanish country side for the past 12 months. The suspension is very easy going, carrys two good sized adults and will take you anywhere that a quad bike can go. The winch has been very useful in pulling out friends quads when stuck in bogs and moving large trees blocking your pathe. There are a few little niggles like the screeching drive belt a new one costs £210 - £230. Poor chromium plating of wheelnuts. Poor paint work on the front and rear racks and the fading of plastic body panels. Could do with a larger capacity battery to help run the alarm/mobiliser. Parts are not cheap and if you add postage, they become very expensive. But to be fare not a bad machine. Not the fastest of ATV's but great fun to ride very stable.
