Haven't bought wife's ride yet
 

Still debating between Honda Rancher and Kokiak 450. Most riders where I live are Honda loyalists......they have bought quads for years and have settled on Hondas. There's a rancher or foreman at almost every house...... literally. Are yamaha's that bad??? All these guys respect my V very much, but they really trash talk yamaha. A few youngsters around have raptors, but they treat them so badly, it's hard to judge their reliability. Anyway, I really like all that the kodiak has to offer. My last quad was a foreman, and I could find good and bad with it. These guys are really hung up on the life of the honda engine. Won't the yamaha last just as long if serviced reasonably? Any info appreciated[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have a friend with a kodiak 450 and he loves it.It's tough to argue with honda reliability.

You are exactly right 3TV. Honda finally put it all together......selectable 4wd.....fully auto and 400cc. I didn't even know they had it until last night. I was leaning heavily toward the kodiak, but now I think the 400 AT is a must have.
