The only two major brands I won't even consider buying are Honda and Can-Am. The Hondas are <u>way underpowered</u>. Their 680 is halfway between the power of a Polaris 500 EFI and 550, and they don't have nearly as much suspension travel as a Sportsman. The Can-Am costs $1,000 more than anything else and has a flimsy frame. At least according to the people who total them out at 10 mph it does. If I didn't want a Polaris I might get an Arctic Cat or Yamaha, but I wouldn't buy a Honda no matter how good the deal is. It's just not worth it for an underpowered 3-wheel drive that doesn't ride like a Sportsman.

 

you will not find a true 4x4 honda unless you put a locker in it..

 

One things get slick and the front end starts losing traction you're going to have just one tire spinning-the one with the least traction. They're a limited slip which in actual use ends up being essentially all slip with the only limiting being your forward progress.

I know. I own one. It's going to be getting a Detroit Locker when I put it back together.

Their new Big Red side by side comes with a locker though.
