Which one to buy? I am looking to buy my first four wheeler and I'm looking for one no smaller than a 500, auto with four wheel drive. I will be using for hunting and riding on the logging roads up north. Can anyone recommend the best one? Looking for something reliable that will last a long time, I will take care of it and not beat on it. Thanks for your help

 

if you don't have a budget the grizzly in the camo version would be awesome. there is one sitting in a dealer by me that is camo with 589's on it. try to stay away from polaris my friend has a 500 sportsman and he has had alot of problems with it.

 

i agree about the polaris thing. i would go with a yamaha or a honda. they noth make good bikes. you might look into the grizzly though like honda guy said.

 

Grizz sounds good or maybe a Rubicon aint they supposed to be reliable but they aint got a diff lock.

 

i like honda for reliability, but the yamaha have tons more features and are just as reliable as a honda

brakes-yamaha disk better
honda drum

liquid cooling more hp and engine lasts longer-yamaha
i think that most hondas are aircooled

yamaha front locking diff. also goes from 2-4 wheel
some hondas go from 2-4 and some don't also honda doesn't have the locking differental so it isn't true 4x4\

thats only a few i can think of. my mom and dad just got kodiaks and they were realy impressed with yamaha. it's up to u though you just have to go to the dealers and look at them to decide.

 

hey if you dont have a budget -go with a honda
If your on a budget - Arctic Cat 500 auto is a great bike, it actually has steel racks and floorboards unlike some other bikes that have racks and floorboads made of plastic

 

try the artic cat 650 (if u dont have a budget)

 

I don't know how the polaris sportsman is but the scrambler 500 is a great quad...is a great allaround quad....keep it in two wheel drive and go out and have some fun riding on trails or whatever..then when times get ruff kick it in four wheel drive.........its just a thought I would throw out there to you.
