Out of all the ATV manufacturers, which do you think has consistently had the best reputation for build quality or reliability?

In my OPINION, Honda used to be but I think they're slacking off just a bit. I think the other manufactures have nearly caught up. Many have excellent quality on certain models and average quality on other models.

For straight up reliability, you will NOT get better than a Honda. That is beyond contest. They are lacking in performance however, compared to the competition right now.

There is no way anyone here can say that there is a brand more reliable than honda. I will agree that all the brands are reliable and will last a long time. I mean i beat the snot out of my 360 with over 2000 miles, no probs. But honda is the most reliable.

I would have said Honda until recently. I know a guy who has a Rincon and bought a Recon for his wife and he has had nothing but trouble with both of them.

I had an old 89 Honda Foutrax 300 4x4 that I had for years and never had a lick of trouble with it. All I did was change the fluids and keep rubber on the rims. Old girl never missed a beat and was still tip top and looked new when I sold it.
