Which utility quads would you pick from each cc group and why? Approach this like you're a first time buyer and all the quads are equal in reliability.

Groups- 250, 350, 400, 450, 500 and then the 650, 700 and 750 cc group would be lumped together.

250- If I was a first time buyer. I would have to choose the Ozark with a few extra cc's and disc brakes.

350- The Bruin with it's selectable 4 wheel drive and it's actually close to 350 cc's.

400- Probably the Kodiak 400 with independent suspension. Just wish they would have kept a high and low gears on it.

450- I really like my Foreman 450 and a foot shift. But if I was a first time buyer. I could not ignore the Kodiak 450 with all of it's options. Independent susp., locking diff., high & low gearing. I think the Kodiak 450 is going to kick butt in sales.

500- The Vinson is a good deal and a better price.

650, 700, 750- King Quad with EFI. I would have to go for the EFI.

My choices tend to lean towards the Yamaha (3) and Suzuki (3) quads. So, one question for HONDA. Hey, Mr. Honda. Why is a person that has always bought Honda's leaning towards other brands?

I should have wrote the Outlander for the 400cc. I guess it was in the back of my mind about the boiling gas. (in hotter climates)

 

250cc-Zuki Ozark
350cc-Wolverine
400cc-Sportsman 400
450cc-Foreman
500cc-Vinson
650cc-Grizzly

Its more of a 750 than an 800.
