Besides the brands are there any noticable differances between the two?

 

The polaris has an auto trans with forward and reverse. The honda is a manual trans with an auto clutch, you must change gears. The polaris is 274 lbs, the honda is 262.

I have a sportsman 90 and it will not keep up with my buddies honda 90.(my polaris 90 must have some kind of governor) But, I have reverse. So when we ride into a dead end I just put mine in reverse. While he gets off and picks up the end and well you know how that ends.
