Dirt Wheels did a test on these a couple issues back and if i recall they chose the honda, i'd have to check. But if i remember it wasn't by much. Haven't heard anything 'bout the new clutch but it acts like a Rekluse clutch for manual quads(won't stall out if you don't pull in the clutch). We own an honda 250 (2003) and i like the way it handles. Now i ride a DVX400 and still don't mind hoping on the thing and having a good time. And i'm a bigger boy 6'0" 220 The suzuki is also 'bout $100 more. We take it to the dunes and ride trails and the local rivier with it. Haven't ever rode the suzuki but by gosh i'ma stand up for the honda it's a stout machine!! not that anyone has knocked it....just saying. And our other quads are AC so don't say i'm being a brand loyalist [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
