I vote to keep the Rancher. You can't kill those.

While the Rancher AT is a very good machine it lacks low end torque, if you are trail riding and not mudin keep the Rancher. My wife rides a 2004 At and loves it. If you want more low end torque get the Eiger also a very good reliable quad but will give you more grunt.

Keep the honda. The suzuki is a good mechine, but I really don't care for belt drive. I have a 2000 40hp. Suzuki outboard motor on the boat , Never had any problems with it.
( but you have to do the proper maintence any thing you get. ) and you can't go wrong..

The Suzuki belt drive is not an issue.

The early rancher at's are pretty reliable, but really low on the power end.

A buddy had a 400 Eiger. Though not thrilling in the power department, it was pretty decent for a 400. It also has softer suspension and ride.

His was quite reliable.
