ok reliabilty i dont know if anyones told you or not (or im just an old hag) but isnt honda the most reliable atv out there

 

It is easy to keep the power low to make it more dependable the way honda does. I think that 20 years ago they were the most dependable, but I think that yamaha caught up to them and the really hard core Honda guys don't want to admit it. My brother in law still thinks that way.

 

Most have caught up in a lot of ways. The big thing Honda has these days is still fit and finish. Their plastic panels go together better and everything is a lot cleaner looking and more sturdy (not engine, drivetrain and stuff- I'm talking interlocking of plastic panels, rivets, that crap). Honda makes good stuff still, but most of the others have caught up in the main areas like engine/transmission.

I just read a thread a few minutes ago where you said you where fourteen.

 

I think anyone looking for or asking about top speed in a utility quad needs to go look for a sport quad. My Grizzly will go 69 mph with the wind behind me but so what. I only did it once just to see how fast it would go. Who rides utility quads at that speed?

 

I am so sick and tired of hearing Honda reliability over and over. I guess it's the only thing left for die hard Honda people to hang on to. currently I own 11 bikes from the 4 Japanese players and all have broken at least once, but Honda is certainly no better than the other three. Sorry Honda guys, the only two honda racing product that can hold their own is the CRF450, and we'll see what happens to that now that Ricky is riding an RM and not a CR and XR650R for desert racing. Rossi kicked Honda's hinny in moto GP riding for Yamaha, Mat Maladin smoked Honda in the AMA riding for Suzuki, and everybody is killing Honda riding the YFZ450. Even the modified Z400's place in front of Honda. Look at what the privateers race. They don't have factory money to trick out inferior products. They buy the best factory bike they can and go with it. I like Honda, but I am not blind to reality either.
