No offence, but go to the Polaris dealer, and look at the SP in a technical sense. Then, go to the Honda dealer, and look closly at the Rubicon.. The Rubicon is clearly built "smarter". Dont be fooled and buy a 'rubber band', buy a tank. Go for the Rubicon.
You just cant kill Honda's, i'v tried.

What the heck is so much "smarter"about the way the ruby is built?Correct me if I'm wrong but does it not still use drum brakes?You also can't take the thing out of 4x4.I once read on another forum where a guy owned both the ruby and an ho and felt that the ho was BY FAR superior in almost every category.The ruby did have an advantage or two but it has slipped my mind as to what they were.No bashing intended.

Let me see here...The H.O. has more ground clearance,true 4wheel drive(not 3whl like the others),the industries undisputed best ride (suspension),better-more agressive factory tires,more power,faster,larger gas tank,Selectable 2 or 4 wheel drive,and in Canada is $1500.00 less.However it doesn,t have that smooth hydromatic drive.You choose.Good luck with whatever you get!

There both nice machines. I think the Polaris's features and functions out weighed the Rubicon. That's why I purchased my Sportsman 500 H.O. For the arguments that Honda's are so reliable. I'll give them that, there a tough machine. But you can't really say the same about the Rubicon yet. It hasn't been on the market for all that long. It's Honda's first attempt at making a water cooled ATV. You can't base the reliability of their motor on there air cooled ones. Only time will tell if they have all of the bugs worked out. Take both ATV for a test drive and see which one you like best.
