what do you think is the best brand in general and why just to see what peoples opinions are?



honda suzuki yamaha or kawasaki</end quote></div>


You forget the best 3 brands!! Polaris, Artic Cat and Can Am!!

 

I have a Rancher and must say its a very good machine. My vote is for Honda. You see a lot of old Hondas here in Newfoundland running very strong after many many years of abuse.

 

There is not a "BEST" machine. All have their + & - points. There is a best for each person machine though.

Think I got ripped...Bought my pills off the net but think they were aspirin cause not gettin any bigger but my headache went away.

In that case, my "BEST" machine is a Polaris 500 X2 EFI.

1) I'm fat - It has plenty of power to pull me up the hills and down light trails.
2) I'm lazy - It's an auto (I ain't changin' no gears, electronically or otherwise - take that Honda)
3) I'm slow - Just not interested in doing 137 through the desert or down the highway on two wheels.
4) I have kids - Slap them on the back and they're happy for a little while.
5) I'm loyal - This is the third Popo I've have since 1999.
6) I'm not worried about machine weight - actually the heavier the better.


I'm sure everyone else could up with a similar list for their "BEST".

 

Honda makes some pretty good 3wds.

 

Wow a fellow Newfie!

 

Hey, the original question was which is better, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha or Kawasaki. The answer is obvious...Polaris...

That's funny, because the only guy I know with a Polaris replaced all wheel bearings and the front differential at 500 miles. But hey, if you keep your expectations very low, that's pretty good. Plus you get a better work-out pushing an 800lb. Polaris than riding a 600lb. Honda, Zuk, Kawi, or Yami.

Just because you know 1 guy with a Polaris makes all Polaris junk?
Maybe he doesn't take care of his atv, what if it was an AC or Suzuki?? would they automatically be junk ?

get a sport quad if you are racing!! utilitys are for working and trail riding! weight doesn't matter much! a smooth ride does! try riding a sport quad over 100 mile days.

 

Take it easy on him Rick. Did you see his pics? He's just a child that doesn't know any better and rides whatever dad has. LOL!
