Purchased mine this weekend. It will do what I need it to do. It is a alot more louder than I expected inside the cab. I added a front and rear windshield so that may have something to do with it. It's geared lower than I expected too. Just need to get used to it. Would like to add a front bumper to it but haven't been able to find one that covers the whole front.

All brands seem to get loud when you close up the cab with windows and doors. 
Expect to adjust your shift cable, take some wrenches with you when you ride.  Instructions are in the threads, interestingly there are no instructions in the current service manual..

Yes, true. Hope they come out with some accessories for it soon. I was looking for a front grill/bumper but haven't had any luck finding one. I was looking at this one and the Can Am Defender but I couldn't justify spending 10k more on the Can Am.

I thought there were some bumpers available already?
I will start a separate thread for home made accessories once I get some stuff organized.  So far I have front and rear windshields, doors are getting close,  skid plates, plow mounts, next is cargo bed tie down anchors to replace those obnoxiously expensive cf moto versions.  Most of this stuff you can take to a good steel or plastic supplier with the right tools and pay the 1 hr machine time to cut them out.

I found one that is like a push bar but really looking for one that covers up the plastic. Some of the drivers I have aren't very trustworthy. LOL

I gravitated to this brand when I heard KTM got involved, I have had a few since the ol Maico days.....The Austrian Harley-which also means nuts and bolts will fall off occasionally..my understanding is that its a KTM designed and QC'd the Chicom motor, but it has Bosch standard fuel injection-I'm sure built in China as well but QC'd by Bosch.  This might explain why the little 600 vibrates so much-no counterbalencer.  My old KTM 640lc4 didnt have much of a counterbalancer but would produce a lot more HP AND TQ then the competition.  Very reliable but would rattle everything off the bike.
