I don't know much about the Rubicon, but I have a Vinson and ride with a few Kodiaks. IMO the Vinson is the best 500cc and under out there other than the 05 Sportsman 500....I hate saying that too. I would go with the Vinson over the Honda too. It looks much better and has a very sporty feel to it, plus the price difference is nice too.

Out of those three I would pick Vinson...But In my opinion if your going for that class I would definately choose Bombardier Outlander 400 4x4...I'm a big Suzuki guy but I would have to admit I've riden all of those and an Outlander is better in a few more ways...it feels more...complete I guess you could say...In this month's Dirtwheels Mag, they had a test between a Kod 450 and a Bomb 400 and the Bomb won in all but one of the tests (I think steering...and I do agree it's a little harder then most to turn but it's still worth it)...they stated it was the best in it's class and I would have to agree...BUT other then that I would go with Vinson because a friend of mine has one and it's just a total beast, awsome quad the Vinson is.

Haha also I will say sorry Suzuki guys...I was just stating my opinion, ALL of these are GREAT quads and I would love to have any of them, but as of right now I'll stick with my opinion (personally owning a Bomb Outlander XT).

Depends on what yard stick you're using for performance. All out speed/sport style, then I'd say Vinson.
The Kodiak has IRS so you get more overall ground clearance and it has a front diff lock so it'd prob be the best mudder out of the group. Of course w/ Honda you get the name, reputation, and overall feel of a Honda. I'm completely ignorant of how Bomb's feel, but drooled over them before I got the Vinny. Get the machine that fits you the best and the style you ride and never look back. That's what I did.
