When my friend lost control of his truck this weekend, after hitting his rear widow and C-pillar, his 400EX was thrown from the bed at approxmately 30 mph.

The only thing that happened was tube that connects the carb to the airbox popped off of the carb. After that was re-attached the quad started right up.

All I can say is Wow, that's one durable machine.

 

Honda has the most reliable ATVs EVER made period. I used to work at a dealership in Birmingham that had Suzuki and Yamaha. We never denied the Honda's reliability to potential Yamaha owners and lost many sales because of it. I have always been a Honda man myself.

Here's how I rank the companies in terms of reliability.
[1]Honda
[2]Yamaha
[3]Polaris
[4]Suzuki
[5]Kawasaki
[6]Bombardier
[7]ArcticCat
[8]Cannondale

 

I agree with you,honda builds the best quads around just not the fastest.I rode the crap out of my 400ex and rolled it down a mountain and it still kept running.I am waiting to see what honda comes out with and if it is something bad azz I will buy it.
