Hammerhead is less expensive and still a quality machine... And if you can get warranty and repairs done locally why not buy the hammerhead? _________________ Darren,

The reason you see all the videos with Joyner in the desert is they are based in AZ, not alot of trees around. They are starting to catch on in the rest of the country, but are very popular here in AZ and even Cali. As to quailty nothing else out of china even come close to comparing. They are not perfect and they will break (so will a Honda) just not nearly as often as the other buggies out there. They are a little slow, but that is because they are heavier from being built better. There are probably buggies out there that beat the joyner in every catagory. ie the rzr is better built, the hammerhead turns sharper, the roketa is faster, etc etc but if you consider all the catagories together the Joyner comes out on top.

Shrug I drive my hammerhead very very very hard look at my video. And if it can take that kind of punishment I'm sure it will be plenty strong and reliable for bush riding. The hammerhead is a very well built machine, I'm not saying a Joyner is not.. I would support my local business first before shopping elsewhere if they have a quality product for a competitive price. _________________ Darren,

No offence steeda, but I have had or been up close and personal with both machines. The hammerhead is a nice buggy but as far as strength it doesnt compare with the joyner. I am big on buying local, but I have noticed around here anyway alot of buggy dealers come and go pretty quickly. A guy like Glade has shown he will be there for you. Just my 2 cents _________________ 2005 Joyner 650 Turbo

My bad must have missed it. If your buying from a reputable dealer go for it for sure.. But both buggies do and will break just like everything else mechanical in the world. In my opinion its all personal preferance really.. What's better a Mercedes or a bmw? I don't know both are quality machines and yes both do break down... _________________ Darren,

Over the past year and half, I have put about 30 of the Joyner 250s out to customers. Out of those machines, I have had no major melt downs, break downs, etc...etc. Minor details like voltage regulators (3-4).
I have guys that have parked their quads and run the heck out of their Joyner 250s. Guys that take 8 foot jumps with little damage to the machine. I could go on.
What I am trying to say....and nothing against any other brand. What I do know is the quality of the Joyner machines. For the most part, Joyner machines are reliable and well built.
I can feel comfortable shipping a machine to a customer because of this reason.
