Polaris, Yamaha or Arctic Cat?
It's between these three:
Arctic Cat 4X4 Automatic LE
Polaris Sportsman 400
Yamaha Kodiak 400
All are automatic, 4X4 with IRS.
Haven't found out yet if AC makes a true automatic or if they are all toe shift.
I am not sure about the Polaris as it is not a true 4X4 and I am leaning away from it.
A friend warned me against the Yamaha brand but I see that on here and other boards it comes recommended. Of course if we get it and it breaks, we will never hear the end of it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I was supposed to pick up a Suzuki DR (motorcycle) for myself but the seller changed his mind and is keeping it.

Oldsmoboat,
All of the above machines are well built and of quality. Where and how your wife intends to ride may have some bearing on choice. Personally Polaris is not my first choice, but it is true AWD without flipping extra buttons or levers. Push a button at any speed and its locked in as soon as the rear wheels call for it. How simple is that? The A
WD drive system is its strength and engine braking is its weakness. So often we find the bike we want on paper but what it may come down to is what fits her, she has to be comfortable on it to enjoy the ride. You may want to gather all the information you can on all these bikes, knowing their strengths and weaknesses and then invite the wife to sit on them as the final evaluation. Placement of handlebars, seatheight, button control placements all have a voice as to how at home the rider feels. We can all play my bike is better than yours, but which bike is best for you is the real question. Just my 02. worth

Out of the three I would go with the Kodiak 450. It's a super all around quad. I would have bought one if I wanted an IRS machine.
All new machines are made pretty well now a days so you can't hardly go wrong. You will or should I say she will be happy with whatever you buy. Best thing is to bring her to the dealer and let her take a spin on each.
Good luck.
