I run a ATV club in Montana And have 20+ years of racing experance. How about your neighbor ? I also like Hondas ( raced alot of them ) most of the over 50 crowd in the club have them. Im just saying they are out dated way over priced and slow but they do make it home.

 

By the way Kaws are not IRS and winters in my part of Montana got to worse than Michigan. Its all about how you ride from the sounds of it a honda 50 will do for you.

 

Not quite sure what racing/sport style ATV's have to do with utility but ok.

I thought the U.P.'s 25' typical winter was a lot, how much do you guys get?



Take some midol and put the heating pad on, maybe you will feel better tomorrow

 

OUCH !!

 

We have a Rubicon and have been very satisfied with it. One of the things that kept us from considering it in the beginning was it did not have selectable 4x4. After riding this ATV all through the Rocky Mountains carrying over 400 pounds every bit of the way, I could care less that it is not switchable, I have actually come to prefer it. 4300 miles and 510 hours and zero repairs.

 

Whoa! We've got a die-hard Honda fan in here. Wildnorthern, if all you need it for is utility work and light trail riding, I'd say stick with Honda. By the way, not trying to get on your bad side or anything (god help me), but you may want to tone that down a little bit because the moderators will pick up on that if it persists. I'm just letting you know ahead of time man!
