I have an Arctic Cat 4wheeler right now but am not happy with it. I am thinking about getting either a Honda or a Bombardier but don't know anyone who has a Bombardier. Can you share your pros and cons with me? Thank you.

 

What type of Bomb. are you looking for, Sport, 4x4??

 

I want one I can use on the farm, a 4X4. I have only seen them on their website and my nearest dealer is almost four hours away one way.

 

my bro has an 04 quest 650 and loves it. he has had it about 5 months and has around 4500 miles on it. he farms with it. the only thing that was a problem was the exhaust. but i think there was a recall on them. the o5 dont have that problem. iv seen a new 05 awsome plus the upgraded the tires and wheels on them. for power wise i think the quest is about the same as the brute force.

 

Thanks. Are the Bombardiers built better or heavier than the other brands?

 

i own an outlander 400 4x4 .extremely plush when you ride it youll think you are on your couch.its amazingit handles real nice too.it has nice power for pulling in low range.i never rode the quest 650 before but that looks like a nice all around quad.if your pulling real heavy loads or mellow cruising thats the bike to have supposedly.but from personal expierience the outlander is awesome.i also own an artic cat 650 v2.the outlander is more plush and handles better.

 

if you just want for just on the farm, not deep mudding or fast trail riding, than i'd highly suggest a traxter, very tough and can pull alot, my uncle has one on his farm, and I use it sometimes and it pulls trees and hauls grain bags no problem,

I think so, I rolled my Outlander and nothing more then some bent plastic. My friend rolled his Yamaha and ended up with a bent axle and handlebars. I finished riding the rest of the day while the Yamaha sat until the axle was fixed. I think if you sat on a Bombardier and compared it with the Japanese models that would speak for itself, they are big, tough, comfortable and built to last. I wouldn't consider any other recreational products company IMO. Honda's are nice and dependable but there is something about sitting on the Bombardier that makse you just feel more comfortable. The best way I can compare it is remember the imported hondas, toyotas and datsuns in the 70's? Compare driving one of those with the fords, chevy's and <gulp> chryslers of the day.

 

The DS650 is the most heavy duty & best built sport ATV, and is also the most reliable. - having said that, I'm sure their Utility machines would follow suit.
