Today we had a ride and drive event at work. We had a few 825I's, 855D's, 625I's, 550's and a 550 S4. A local hunting club let us borrow there property and setup a 3.5 mile course. I drive all of them and the 550 was the most fun with its 16hp of furry. It handled awesome and was very controllable. We did time trials and the fastest time on it was 9 minutes 20 seconds, they beat me by 22 seconds. Someone else did the course in the 53hp 825I in 9 minutes 31 seconds. Its ergonomics and driving position sucked as well as the handling compared to the 550. I will get some photos up later from the event.
