ACtually, there are two classes here, and In one of those clases, the Grizz, rincon and kingquad no longer belong..
And Dshoe , as for popularity, reliability, and quality. The Sportsman 500 is the number one selling quad, and Polaris is Number 2 in total sales ahead of yamaha, last I checked (although Yamaha and Polaris do swap back and forth...
This is Hardly the same comparison of Kia vs Toyota where total sales figures are a small fraction of the larger name brand competitor.
If you base reliability concerns, soley on complaints raised on an internet forum, then by all means, you shouldnt buy a gas-bubbling, vapor locking grizz. You also shouldnt buy a Honda with bad angle sensor, pullrope assemblies that leak and take out the motor, etc...

 

In your opinion why isn't the KQ in the same class as the others? I'd agree to the Rincon, but not really the KQ or Grizzly.

 

While I wouldnt necessarily PREFER a Brute , 800 EFI or Bomb 800 over the King.. In terms of overall power (not just acceleration), towing ability, and the fact that 2 of these machines come with 26" tires from the factory, These machines are not in the same class.. I feel like the King, 700 EFI, Prarie 700 and Grizz belong in a class of their own.. And In all Honesty, I know the RIncon says 650, But I feel like it belongs in the 500 cc class, where it fits in a little better.

 

I'd agree to that because the Polaris 800 and the Outty 800 are in a different price class as well, $1500+ above the KQ, Prarie, and Grizzly's MSRP. I am impressed with the Outty 800 though, BRP has put a lot into that machine, and it is superior to the others. As for the Rincon, I've never driven one but it really sounds like, say a Vinson 500, could keep up with it if not pass it.

 

Vinson and Outlander do not have lockers

Vinson is torque sensing limited slip

Outlander is visco-lock

 

Vinson could keep up with if not pass a Rincon. Hmm...propnut.

 

yeah, he also said the Vinson has a locker

you got anything worth adding?

 

Other than that hiccup, sounded like a well-informed post from toyeboy.

 

hmmm

hmmm

I guess a fellow speculator would conclude as much

now stop following me #2

I try to help the post remain accurate and you got nothin but BS

 

I've got nothing but bs? I think you need to take into consideration how long I've been in these forums without a single problem and how many people find me to be a very helpful user. Believe me, you are a minority.
