If you buy the scrambler put aside a grand or two for when the warentee runs out. Great trail machine but not the most reliable.

 

I dont know where you get your info on Scramblers not being reliable.All mine ever has needed is basics like chains and brakes.

 

thaxs for the info but i dont really like scrambers. im lookin for sumthin with alittle more ground clearance (the scramblers only got 5.7")

 

Its a long known fact,no other manufatures ATVs have required more repair/maintenace than a Polaris.And this comment is coming from an actual owner of two past Polaris ATVs.Nice quads,but you can allways look forward to fixing something at the end of the day.

If you do elect to buy Polaris,buy something that is 2002 or newer.

The Raptor will make it through a few inches of mud fine if you don't stop in the middle of it. As for the rocks, put on a good swing-arm skid-plate that covers the rotor/sproket and chain then hammer away.

You also may want to look at a SuzukiTP/KawiP700. I'm sure you could find one for $6,500. And It'll smoke the Griz and Sportsman.

 

ahxs fo rhte input.yea im not gonna get a polaris so i dont need to worry about the repairs. im thinkin bout a vinson 500 manual4X4 kodiak450 auto 4X4 foremanS4504X4 but i still have to go and test ride each one and see how they feel. im thinkin bout the kodiak right now but i dont kno if il like automatics cause ive never riden them b4. do you like automatics or manuals?

 

sounds like u need a 4x4 i would say look at all of these listed: Brute Force,parie,king quad,twin peaks,Grizzily,kodakic,bruin,rincon,foreman,ranche r AT,SPORTSMAN 800! beast !!!!!

or if u want a sport get Raptor,YFZ450,Z400,TRX450R,TRX400ex,even a 300ex,DS650,cannondale speed440,KFZ400,

I say go with the polaris!

 

waht do you all think about the king quad?? casue i went to the suzuki main website and was reading the features and the specifications and lookin at the photo ga;llery and that think seems nice [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Don't know what your problem with suzukis is but I love mine. I would go with the 5 spd, you would keep up the sportsman and grizzly in most places and beat them on the trails.

good luck

 

all the 4x4 bikes mentioned above are good.youll be satisfied with any of these.my buddy owns a scrambler its nice but he does drop a lot of money into repairs but he also rides very hard.my choice of your selections honda foreman. otherwise prairie ,artic cat or suzuki vinson or king quad
