I need an honest opinion.
06 Yamaha Kodiak 450 or 06 Honda Rubicon?
How are the two quads in...Reliability, Comfort and Performance?

 

Also i'll be using it for both trail riding and
working, plus goin through some deep mud from time to time.

 

Both are great atvs but in 2 differnt classes. Me, if i had the oppertunity to throw money down on either those two, the rincon would be in my garage. THey both are reliable. THe rincon has better suspension but the kodiac has a diff lock. Even though the rincon is not the best worker, it will do light work fine. I would get the rincon.

 

RUBICON not Rincon lol

 

haha, my bad, I was going to say. @ different classes. well, the kodiac has a better ride, difflock, more gc. Rubicon is a hona, good brakes, best tranny, cool looking. I would still have to say honda. sorry about that mess up.

 

lol no problem, thanks for the info
any problems for the Rubicon on the tranny?

 

I have seen some elier year trannys like that blow, but i think they have straghtend it all out. Sure beats ridin a yamaha.

 

how is it power wise?

 

i have rode both bikes it depends on what you want thought the kodiac is smaller and very easy to ride in the woods has decent power and a diff lock the rubi is more sporty in my opinion and larger in size and is quicker but is about a grand higher in price i like the trans in the rubi as you have many choices in ranges and gears good luck

 

I already have a Honda Foreman 450ES (kicks @ss) and from riding my uncles Rubicon i think i'll stick with the honda. Keep the tradition up.
