be honest all you yamaha fans witch is better for ripping through the trails? Or just a better machine?

 

i think the big bear is more rugged and the rancher is more sporty

for trails i would say rancher but everything else is big bear i think

 

i have a rancher 4x4 es and i guess for a 350 its sporty but i think it is slow as he**. thats y im getting a yfz 450. but its agreat beginior quad but it has bad pulling,ground clearence, and no locker. i've never riddin a big bear so i wouldn't knwo about that. but if you are doing slow smooth trails the rancher is fine anythign more and you will get bored. its slow to the fastest i've gone is 48mph

 

damnnnn 48??????? dude my honda recon got up to 54mph on gps

 

lol yes 48 thats what the stock speedo said. and this was gogin slightly down hill.

 

on a hard packed (almost hard as pavment) dirt road

 

Damn, thats a tough one. I know a couple of people that one of each and their both tough. I think Honda's are more reliable but my friends Bear has been through freakin hell and its still runs and looks good. And the Bear isn't very fast either, I think I clocked him at around 46-47mph. Either or they are both good, I'd say its all up to looks.

 

Big bear.

 

You can't go wrong with either machine. I have an 05 big bear 400 and my buddy has had his rancher for a few years now. They both go pretty much where they please.

Although this weekend I used my BB to pull my pickup truck from being stuck. Got my truck stuck in the yard...all it was doing was spinning the tires. Put the wife in the truck and strapped the BB to it, and pulled it out with no problem. Gotta love the low gear.

 

solve all ur problems and buy a mojave!
