Default quad suggestions

I am wondering about which ATV to get, my cousin has a banshee but I need one for work (snow plowing) to help pay for the cost of it. I would also like the ATV to be able to ride around the trails and keep up with the sport ones, well as close as a utility ATV can keep up.

I was lookin at the hondas because my dad has all honda stuff (generaters, snowblowers, etc.) so I am wondering which you guys reconmend for wat I want to do.

Thanks in advanced

i used to have a Yamaha WOlverine.They will run wit or outrun 300ex's.They arent very big but they will get the job done.They ride trails extremely well.They are very reliable too i had mine for a year and it never tore up.The only work we had to do was change the oil.

I push snow w/ my Grizzly and it works real well. It'll keep up with most quads. Check the Prarie, Grizz, Rincon and Kodiak

If thats your plan and price is no option, go for one of the 650+ utilities. All have their own advantages and disadvantages over each other, but you wont go wrong with a Prairie, Grizzly, Rincon, or Sportsman. Though you will hear each and every one of them picked to death on this forum about different things from different owners, they are all capable of everything you mentioned.

The Kodiak has been said to have a lot of power for its engine and to be very agile for it's size as well. For your needs it sounds like a good choice.

If you want it for work and to play with your friends on sport machines then the best to choices are the Kawi p650 or the new p700. Next would be the manual shift Suzuki 500 Vinson. Both of these machines will work real hard and have a stright rear axle which will let them out handle the IRS machines like the Grizzly and the Polaris's. The IRS machines do have a better ride and more ground clearance than the straight axle machines though.

Won't keep up with the sport quads near as good as the bigger utilities will, but its a solid bike and very capable in any terrain.
