In all seriousness, the one that's sitting in your garage is by far the best! I don't care what brand your riding, if your riding you're having fun and enjoying the sport and that's what it's all about!</end quote></div>
+1 ! exactly

Suzuki, Honda and Yamaha........... They just seem to make the machines that are the most fun to ride for me......
But I do lean towards Suzuki as my first choice...... I think it is that whole "First on 4 wheels" thing...... I was just an impressionable young kid the day the "quad" showed up on all the covers of the "3-wheeler" magazines and changed everything..... from that moment on anything that said "Suzuki" on it was suddenly something I needed to own....
Still I have had good luck with Honda and Yamaha too, so I would never hesitate to buy either one...... but if you gave me the keys to a 450R, YFZ450, and an LT-R450 and said pick one...... my leg would be over the Quad Racer faster than you could say "Suzuki" .......

I'm only looking at 4x4's but it needs to be small enough that a 12 yr old boy can handle it. He can't really handle my Honda Rincon, but the meat that I have on them rims make it harder to turn.

Reliability - Honda and Yamaha
Features / Fun - Polaris
Power per CC - Can Am
Suzuki - not sure about their ATVs yet, but like their bikes
Have had 4 Polaris - Most innovative but require some maint. My early ones had so many grease zerks that I missed a couple and had to replace the bearings - didn't even know the zerks were there until the bearings went out. First ATV was Yamaha Wolverine - hardly any maintanance. However, once I rode a Polaris I sold the Yamaha and bought another Po it was so much fun.
If your life depends on it and you don't care as much about the fun factor, consider a Honda. But I have yet to ride one thats near as fun as any of my 4 wheelers. I'll put up with a little more maint. to have more fun.

My '98 polaris xplorer has been nothing but problems (broke down every time it's been out), while both my yamahas ('03 wolverine & '06 kodiak 450) have been ridden hard and come back begging for more. Then there's honda which is being 50/50. The '86 250r still runs like a bat out of hell while the '82(?) odyssey keeps having carb issues.
