Default I dont like my Arctic Cat

But I must tell you we ride every Sat at the Wolf river in Memphis TN. Next to the Mississippi river and i couldnt believe what I saw. A new guy from a friends work rode with us on his new Arctic Cat 500. It had a Highlifter lift kit 27 Inch Mudzillas and it spanked us all. The only one who even thought about giving it any comp was a Rubecon with 27 outlaws and such. This new guy also weighed about 50 heavier than the guy on the Honda. These mud holes are terrible. I mean deep nasty and smells like a sest pool/ Pure deep blue gumbo.
The Cat tore it up. It made it farther backwards then we did forward.

Guys whats up with honda? I have always been a Honda fan. I decided to chage up last year, when i got my Cat. I was thinking about a foreman or rubecon for my next bike but I dont know now!
I bought my AC 300 to pull and it will sure do that in its Granny low

Be nice but give me something should I go with the Honda????

I would think that it is hard to match a 500i with a two inch lift and some 27" zilla's. That is like over 15 inched of GC and even a rubicon with 27's and a lift would have problems following that bike because of the low hanging straight axle on back.

I new something was up. I know the 500i is a bad bike but I never thought of seeing something do what it did and the honda not being in the running. When is honda comming out with the independent rear?

The Rincon is indepent rear susp, Kat. I got an idea you wouldn't like it though. Why don't you buy the Kitty if you like it better? We could use the revenue up here in MN where they're made, our state budget IS a cesspond.

I meant in the foreman. In my opinion if it dont start with an H dont get it. But I know alot of poeple with Cats I think they hold up just as well. Aftre seeing what the 500i did, it will be around for a long time. Oh yea Im also in the process of upgrading to the 500i

I must say. I am new to atvs, and love it. I brought a 2003 Honda 350 Fourtrax 4x4 Es and love it. I have looked at a Arctic Cat 400 4x4, before I got the Honda. I say the Honda is the best. The Arctic Cat cost about $1,000.00 more then my Honda. I think the Arctic Cats are no good, I don't care what anybody tells you they suck. Go Honda All The Way
