Hey i am currently looking for a new atv and so far my mind is set on the yamaha 450 kodiak. iv been reading up on the reviews and peoples posts on here and i jsut cant decide. I want to do alot of research and fine something that wolnt break and wolnt need to be taken into the shop every month. I ride trails, go muddin some 'not sure if id take a new one muddin', and lots of haulin and yard work. I have an 86 bayou and its jsut not cuttin it for me lately jsut to many problems im fixin more than ridin, but any who. I dont want to really limit my self to a price i just want the best all around atv on the market, and so far iv been having a hard time deciding. What Should I Get?

I like the Kodiak 450, its my pick in the mid size class. In the big bore class, well, see my sig. If you can ride each in a non-parking lot situation do as what you think matters most. The Kodiak has a nice nimble size but really is not much lighter than the big bores which have more power. The Kodiak has all the big bore features in a smaller size.

I looked at the foreman and didnt like that it had drum brakes, might not matter to any of u bet having worked with drum brakes id rather have discs, or at least drum in the front and disc in the rear and im jsut not a honda guy i like kawasaki and yamaha. if anyone else would like to share problems or their openion on the kodiak or other atvs they like id appricieate it. please list the pros and cons if u know or have the time.

i havent had any REAL problems with my 450 kodiak, just some torn boots, worn bearings, and the like. it has plenty of power for what i use it for-which includes hauling trailers- but since i have the straight axle 450, it has a rougher ride. my bro has an outlander 400, which is real nice-smooth ride and no problems, for muddin i would take the 450 overr the outlander any day-diff. lock-i think the most reliable quads however are the 450 honda foremans without the electric shifting good luck in your quest-haha! 450kodman
