There are only 2 kinds of people in this world, those who have Polaris's and those who want them OK, all kidding aside, I have been riding for 35 (yes before 3 wheelers) years now, and have had all of the major brands. Each and every one of them has their quirks, and their good points. All of them, no matter where they are made, have "foriegn" parts in them. I just so happen to Like Polaris, because I have had them for so long, that I have become acustom to working on them and how they are set up. I know that will open a can of worms. All of the Honda, or Can-Am folks will say that theirs don't need to be worked on, I would have to call bull. But to date, my favorite ATV is my 85 Honda 200X 3 wheeler. I still ride quite a bit, and just this week, hauled a nice deer out of the timber with it. It was the only ATV that I have that would fit where I was going to get the deer.

 

That's funny! My favorite ATC back then was my 200X! (I think mine was an '84)

Although I wouldn't want to tow a deer with it! You'll burn-out that clutch!

As I remember the gears were tall and designed for moderate to high consistent speeds not stop-and-go or lugging.
