No loyality here,as I've owned every major brand ATV on the market except for Cannondale..

Im a 'deep woods' kind of rider and so are many of those that ride in our club..So I desire an ATV with added features that make getting back into the deep woods,an easier job..

If a particular brand has what I want,I OWN IT,PERIOD!

Brand means nothing to me!

 

The majority of brand loyal folks in my area are Honda people. They became loyal to Honda because of the rock solid reliability of the old TRX 300.

Today the same loyal Honda riders that are buying the electric shift Recons and the automatic Rincons are starting to discover that even Honda can make some serious mistakes.

 

I think the dealership is as important to whom you purchase from as the make and model. I had a choice between yamaha and polaris where I live. The yamaha dealer was a total butt. I spent 20 mins standing next to the quad that I wanted to ask questions about. Meanwhile he was over in another area talking about places to go jet ski. It was obvious to me that it had nothing to do with business. Then he just walked by me to go to his office. I had to flag him down. Then he was talking with other people as I was trying to get a price out of him. I came to buy that day. So I then went to polaris and they was cool. I bought from them instead. Had the yamaha dealer been cool or atleast interested in selling me a unit. I would have bought from them. So when it came time to buy my second unit. I went with Polaris again.

 

I know what you mean about bad dealers.

Some run more customers away than they keep.
