I'm a newby to the forums here and would like some advice on which bike to buy. I like the Yamaha Griz and Kodiak (Father has a kodiak), but I also like Honda's rincon and rubicon. I will use it mostly for work around the house and farm, and a little hunting every now and then. I know the major diferences of the two brands just by reading these forums but would like to know if there really is a reliabilty issue with yamaha, my buddies say go with the bullet proof honda, but when I ask why all they can say is hondas are indistructable. Yamaha's look and feel better to me. Talk to me guy's !

 

Definitely the Rubicon, if you need mostly a work machine. Also, take a good look at the new Foreman 500, with manual transmission. You can get it with ES if you don't want to foot shift.
