Why is it that people who are very brand loyal feel the need to go into a brand specific board and make posts concerning an opposite brand.

Everyone knows that Honda and Polaris Owners are more than likely not going to change their opinions about which is best and why, so why try? Are we that weakminded and Brand driven to provoke this type of reaction?

I Look around other brand boards for informative reasons, but I don't post my own, OPINIONS, which they all are, concerning the supremacy of Honda to Polaris. Please, let us strive to focus upon the things that bring us together and let us make sure that our children will have land and opportunity to ride as we.

Don't allow brand loyalty to divide us.

I agree but i have to admit that sometimes its fun to pick an argument. It all goe's back to the
Ford ,Chevy ,Dodge thing. but you are correct we need to spend more time saving our places to ride.

I for one am not brand loyal. I'll always pick the quad that suits my needs and gives me the biggest grin. Right now I ride a Banshee, but that will change if Kawi comes out with the KXF 250.

I think more people feel as you do, but don't express it. There seems to be a fine line between acerbity and contemptuous remarks. Everyone tries to buy a quad and add those modifications they feel best suit their needs. Some people feel like if another person does not follow the same path, they need to be corrected. I am glad I ride with a variety of people with different ideas and ways of solving problems and riding different atvs with different strengths. All I know is Honda, it is just "familiar" to me. But if I am stuck, by all means, bring on the Polaris Sportsman and hook me up. We poke fun at each other, not so much for brand choice, but for decision making, i.e. "what possessed you to run off in that hole for"?
But, I think you are correct and more people agree with you than you realize.

Right now i ride a 97 Suzuki King Quad.I bought it cause the price was right and it will serve my purpose.I more than likely will get a polaris in the future.Not that any thing is wrong with the Suzuki.I just want to up grade to a bigger Quad with more power.I have enjoyed rideing and enjoy the places i can get to.We quad riders get to go and see things that most others can not.I have met some real good people on the trail.Im just glad to have a Quad and am able to enjoy the peace of mind a i get from riding it.I am not loyal to any make or model at this point......Bob
