I dont think Honda sucks and i do not agree with what KING4X4 said but I do think you have some learning to do and dont know what your talking about when you say Honda is "better" than Polaris. They both have there up's and downs and just because you own a Honda doesnt mean its better than everything else.


not trying to start any wars here just adding my $.02

 

Im reserving judgement untill I get seat time on the Traxter 800

 

Outlander. My bad. This probably would be a better question to post in the utility section.

thanks again lots ride

 

Okay,
Sorry if your getting a little pissed! First off, I'm not 16. That was my old hockey number when I played semi-pro about 12 years ago and I'm a little attached to it still. I have seen and driven many AC's as my next door neighbor buys a new one every 18months or so. He gets rid of them before he has to start spending money on repairs, atleast that's what he tells me. He keeps buying them though because his first cousin owns an AC dealership. I even thought about buying one once but only for a second and then I thought better of it. The are loaded with features that other quads don't have, and this is how they try to sell atv's and gain market share. Fact is they are still unproven and if anything they are gaining a bad rap around here for reliabilty.
Obviously mudblaster has owned one and has first hand experience with his and he confirms that they do squat like a puck bunny being blind sided. I understand you like your machine and that's fine. I'm sure it has some good qualities about it but facts are facts. Most knowledge ATV people would agree that IRS certainly was NOT developed for utility, and if you continue to pull really heavy loads on a regular basis for an extended period of time you will have some major repairs to deal with. Also about the rack, do you not think that attachments can be added to the racks of any machine? I'm not saying that a honda can go more places than your AC either but the higher center of gravity on the AC can be very dangerous and the risks don't outweigh the benefit of a couple more inches of ground clearance. With all those mountains out there your probably pretty carefull when you are going up one and have to turn the wheels slightly. Watch that belt doesn't start to slip when you get some mud and water in there....if you get into mud and water that deep.

 

Hey Catterman, Do you have the BOSS on that Browning of yours? I have a Browning BAR Safari w/boss 30-06. I just loaded some 200 gr. Swift A-frames....which I will use on Moose this fall. I will loose a bit of ballistics with the 200 gr.'s, but they create a wicked wound channel and quick death. They say the average moose in Ontario is shot at 80 yards, but I figure I should be in real good shape out to about 250. I use 150gr. balistic silver tips on white tails....it stops them instantly and from a long ways away too. Those pictures are breathtaking. You are a lucky man to be living out there!

 

Well Pete I guess we just have different ideas as far as utility ATV's go. I will leave it at that.

Yes I do have the BOSS on my BAR, I don't know if it does any good or not, but is sure is cool looking. I acutally use the CR end on it most of the time, as the muzzle brake is just too lound for me. With those bullets you should have no problem with the moose, good luck! 35 more days until our moose season starts [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I guess you did not read my post.

 

For all you Polaris and Artic fans read this.....http://www.atvtv.com/500class.html
Also you Arctic fans do you know that its the same Engine as Suzuki??

What sold me is that Honda had the no belt drive, ESP mode if you want, and the NAME!
