But, (here is the big but) I'm talking about a couple of good ol' Honda 300 4x4's. When you think about it, these quads are as simple as it gets and I believe that is why Honda has won a lot of people over on reliability. Their quads were never packed with features. They always stuck with (for the most part) simplicity.
I would not buy a Honda unless I was looking for a good reliable 350cc 4x4, which ain't happining any time soon. IMO they are boring and over priced (except the 450r).

I agree with offrder, the honda's do hold up well. I have see one Honda that a rancher in SD had and it was 450ES and it had 29,000 miles on it and I have two neighbors that have hondas and one has 18,000 on his and the other has about 21,000. I had two hondas and I agree that they are boring. Since I switched to Polaris, I don't think I'll ever own a different brand, ya gotta love the irs.

My neighbors that own the hondas that have 18,000 and 21,000 on them have just done normal maintenance. The one with 29,000 miles I cannot say if it had a rebuild. I saw the odometers on these three machines, why would I lie about it.
