Grizzley or a Rincon, I wouldn't buy either one. I don't care for the Rincon's trans and the Grizzley is too top heavy for me personally.

People here ride a lot, I put 3000 miles on my ATV in the last year.

The big ATV dealer here sells Honda, Polaris, Yamaha, Suzuki and BRP/Can Am.

Calculating repair vs sales numbers the ATV that comes back to the shop the most is Polaris, followed by BRP/Can Am, Yamaha, Suzuki and last but not least Honda.

Very well said. Not for nuthin' but you would think for the money Honda charges and knowing that the competition offers more in many areas that they would really showcase their "quality" and get something like a carburetor to do things like start, idle, run and the like. After all - carburetors have been around for how long???

I have three Hondas and have been through carburetor woes with all three of them!!!

in all actuallity a polaris is a much better cold weather starter... hondas come way to lean from the factory, but do excellent on fuel... carberated polaris' on the other hand suck gas...

Thats because a Polaris per cc has way more hp than a Honda. If you want to play you have to pay.

Gas mileage who cares ,'put a larger gas tank on it like Arctic Cat does I say.

I,m just too used to snowmobiles were 15mpg is the best you can hope for on a good day,but with 10 gal tanks you can still go 120 miles between fill ups.

That's because they're heavier.
