you can get what you would but in the end you will go back to honda. there the only 4x4s with transmissons instead of unreliable belt drives.</end quote></div>
Not true, If you have a foot shifter (or the Sh*** es on some hondas) then it has a transmission. Also, Honda's aren't true 4X4, suziki's aren't, arctic cat is, polaris halfway is, kawasaki is, but it sucks and breaks easy, YAMAHA=True 4X4.

If I were you, I would get a Yamaha no matter what. IMO they are 100times more reliable than the rest. To me and my friends it goes this way on reliability, Yamaha, then Honda, then Arctic Cat,then Kawasaki, then Polaris, Then Chinease quads, then Suzuki. If I were you, I would get a Big Bear 400, they have decent power, irs, a lot of mud protection super low first gear, and they come stock with mudlights. I ws going to get one, but I didn't like the 45-50 top speed, so I chose the Grizzly 700 FI EPS. If your wallet is big enough that would be the best. There's to many good things to list about them, THEY ARE DEFINATLY THE CADILLAC OF ATVS

I like the king quad the best, I just bought an 07 king quad 700 I like it other than the rough suspension and the crappy tires it came with. But my dad has an 01 king quad 350 and you would not believe the abuse we have put that thing through and it still starts up first try and have never ever had a problem with the trans. For what you can get a king qaud for I think they are the best bang for your buck I picked mine up for new $9000 Cad.

hey crusher, ummmm suzukis are as true 4wd as cats, and kawis. diff locker on the king is great, as long as u dont need to turn very much. I am not much into product bashing, other than My brute, which might just be an isolated prob with just mine, but i ride with lots of friends and go to an atv park close to my home and see lots of great quads,and lots of bad ones. Biggest thing is how we treat our machines, and upkeep! on the trails all do well. all WILL break, some will die, and a few just ask for more. Here is what me and several friends have agreed on as far as the toughest all-round -----#1 cat's #2 brutes #3 kings #4 polairs then them others

hey guys thanks for all the input, im deciding more toward a cat, but i was wondering is it possible to build a utility atv, if so where should someone start, pretty much where can you buy all the parts.

I'm on my second Kawasaki now. I went from a 300 Bayou to the BF 650I and love them both! no trouble so far with my new BF, it's a awesome machine! all I know is belt driven and have never had a problem with them! you would be happy with a Brute.
