I noticed you put this posting in both the honda and bombardier forums, let me save ya some work: The honda guys will say Rubicon, The Bombardier guys will say traxter, and someone from the yamaha forum will jump in and tell you to get a Grizzly, which will tick off someone from the Kawi Forum, and a huge debate will ensue between the P650 and the Grizz owners, which attracts Sportsman 700 owners like blood in the water and they will add their 2 cents worth! This all ends up fun to read but does not answer your question. So Here Goes! I have personally owned a Traxter and I currently work at a Honda dealer, so I am not bashing. The traxter is a far better work machine and out pulls any other machine out there. BUT expensive to fix if it breaks BUT comes with a three year warranty. The Honda has a SLICK tranny, but so-so 4X4, drum brakes, and is a little underpowered. At the risk of sounding disloyal.............Get the Traxter. Mine never let me down, and as far as Utility use goes: it was better than my current bike (02 Grizz) but heavy and not real fast.

Hope this helps!

I'm a honda guy and i say go with the traxter XT, they look awesome from the factory, a guy i know has one (for his wife) and it is awesome, although the ride isn't as smooth as the rubi, but they pull like a tractor, if you want more sport i'd look at the quest 500 or 650, the 650 comes in XT, but they're more than the traxter

like them, i too am a honda fan. But the traxter is a far better machien for work....the thing is built like a freakin tank, could probly tow a damn semi(like its bigger brother the 650XT) and take you throu mud so deep you could stick your head in it and se saten him self....this is definently the machien for you
