[mikeboehm]

Well I hear if you put a snorkel on them, it doesnt matter- you can drive them underwater.

[mikeboehm]

I drive my honda under water without a snorkel and it still runs like the day i bought it new. honda is the most reliable out there period

Then why did you ask what the best was, if you already knew?

[mikeboehm]

actually i can truck never stranded me in the bush like so may others were

[mikeboehm]

my truck is in the shop right now from when i got rear ended. the truck i got as a rental is a 2014 Ram 1500. its a POS. at least for a hunting truck. i could never get use to the shifter knob. if you shut this truck off pull the key out and leave the door open after 2 minutes the horn beeps twice then does it every 2 minutes. i dont know if you can turn it off but i doubt it

Easy fix. Close the door

[mikeboehm]

not when ur unloading groceries. pos i would never buy one, uncomfortable seats like ur sitting on plywood

Best all around I have to vote Yamaha. There is not doubt that the Honda's have the best engine, but when it comes to atvs engines are not usually my greatest concern. Do the maintenance on all of them and the engine will run. I find the suspension of the Yamahas to be longer lasting, better handling and just more dependable. Guess it depends where you ride to. If it is a farm/trail rider definitely Honda, if going places I will stick to my Yamaha. If speed is the game Can-Am

[longwalk]

Have both Honda and Yamaha. I like the Honda better. Gets better fuel economy and more reliable.

[mikeboehm]

now that the Honda has front diff lock they are the best

Thought you were pissed-off with the registration process .... and sold yours ??
Are you in the market to purchase another one ....... ?
You might have to pay the tax on it ......

Kinda' like Honda's for their reliability ....

[mikeboehm]

i did sell my honda. a 1996 foreman 400 15000km on it and no problems except i had to change out the warn winch. no not buying a atv in the near future. i just started a poll

[bc_buckshot]

Hey mike how can you open a quad poll when you sold and dont have one...you should add "foottrax" to one of the pics...

And why would you wanna put your quad in the water when you can just go around or swim... Not getting this

[todbartell]

My vote goes for the Yamaha Grizzly 700 w/ power steering

[todbartell]

[mikeboehm]

And if I were to buy a new quad it would be a Honda foreman 500. No power steering. Foot shift.

[gutpile]

sounds like Hondas are made in heaven , any body have issues with can ams ?

[Pioneerman]

I would buy nothing but a Yamaha, I have owned all of them Honda is second in my mind, but Can am is bottom of heap. I owned one BRP for 16 months and worst machine out of 18 that I have ever owned. Yamaha is bullet proof, Honda make a great small engine, you can never fault them there.

[Sitkaspruce]

Been a Yamaha fan for a long time. We had 91 Big Bears and Honda 300's, with machines were awesome, but the nod went to the Yammy with the 10 speeds. I liked it do much that I bought a '97 Big bear 350 and it is still going strong.

We now run Hondas for work and so far, great machines!!

I have a polaris, thaught I got a good deal on it but they are built cheap, 2000km and had to do the wheel bearings an d the bushings are getting loose, I do like how it rides and the power of the 850. I'm a yamaha fan.

[barry1974w]

I always thought I was a honda man, but I've ended up with two yamahas in the garage, so that's how I voted.

[srupp]

Hmmm bought a honda 300 kept it for 6 .....7 years...sold it to my hunting partner Tim...he is still riding it..no issues..I got a 2007 honda 500..it is the one im still riding..so only 2 machines..both still running strong..think the 300 still is pretty high up there for fuel efficiancy..
Steven

[barry1974w]

Yeah, those old honda 300's are an awesome machine. They seem to last forever and work way harder than their cc's say they should. But saying that, when it came time for me to buy a machine, after all my research I ended up with a Yamaha, then when I needed another I liked it so much I bought another Yamaha.
I think most of the brands are pretty good. Although I'm really not a fan of the Polaris quads, for the price point and how much most guys use atv's, even they're not that bad....
