which one handles better?
which is faster and more powerful?
how is the suzukis reliability? will it go for 10,000+ miles like a honda?


wondering how the new rubi stacks up to the competiton

 

evrything i read about the suzuki is good.
and they say its more fun on the trails.
but that was last year when the honda was full time 4 wheel drive, now with selectable 4 wheel drive and disk front brakes.
im not sure what ones the best.
but its not up to us to pick, thats up to you.
and whatever one you pick im sure you'll be happy with it.
i had a 2003 arctic cat 500 manual and it had the same engine and tranny as the vinson 500 manual.
and it ran great,
and it started first try every time and it seemed to have plenty of power plus it weighs fifty pounds more then the vinson so the vin should make good power.
the only thing about the manual shift i dident like was it somtimes found nutral when you dident want it to.
it happend to me probly a dozen times but it was always when you where blasting through the gears fast and you would find nutral and the motor would rev to the moon.
but other then the mystery nutral, and it happend between 2nd and 3rd and 3rd and 4th
the motor was great and the tranny worked ok .
if it dident do that dirtbike thing i would have liked it better.
now for the honda.
starts every time runs great has lots of power manual or auto shift.
both quads have a good name (suzuki. honda.)and will last as long as you make them last.
my bud has over 3500 kilometers (2300miles) on his and the only thing he's had to do was change the oil.
iv got 1800 miles on mine and its the same.
and i've only had mine since may 1st.
im happy with the honda.
and im sure you'll be happy with eather quad.

 

thanks mud blaster any other experiences by any one else
