I have delt with the Honda east folks. they will beat anyones price. giv'em a call before you make a deal on Ebay.


by the way Arctic cats quads have been doing better , but some have had dubious issues that have lead to many complaints. I know of very few issues with Hondas beside lack of a low range in the trans.

[DuffMan]

The auto transmission Hondas have a car-like auto trans with a torque converter and no low range. Many folks say they don't need it since the tranny has specific gears.

So does my TJ - but I still want low range.

Not to mention it's pretty complex stuff for something you'll drive through mud & water. The CVT trannies in other ATVs are pretty well proven.

I bought Polaris myself and have had no problems with my 500 EFI Sportsman. I'm a little POed at Polaris over a recall on my Hawkeye 300 where they issued the recall but don't have the parts, so now wife is afraid to rider her quad and the parts to fix it are unavailable.

Negotiate a longer warranty - I got two years on my Polari.

Honda...

ArticCrap has a real bad rep. in the ATV world.. they have some cool shit and neat features.. but their quality is less then be desired.

[roll-bar Bob]

IF I GO OUT OF THIS STATE TO BUY A QUAD. DO I HALF TO REGISTER IT IN MI AND PAY THE 6% TO JENNY. OR CAN I GIFT MY OUT OF STATE QUADS TO MY WIFE IN MI.

[unclebeaner]

you can gift it.

[junk90xj]

i love my artic cat and have had no ploblems. but honda is also a very nice machine.

if it was me personally id get the cat the 700 is a monster and really nice.

[Big Daddy Rubicon]

I'm running Polaris sportsman and they do what I need. The Honda is a great but I would stay away from the Cat. Just my .02

You shouldn't be afraid to use that thing. The chances of your wife breaking it is slim. The only ones I have seen break are ridden by young kids who are jumping them. Both have over 3000 miles on them.

cant beat the cat. I have been riding them since 97 with very few problems other then normal ware and tear and I ride the hell out of it. I also have a honda "400 ex" so I like thme both. but come on 12 GC 700 uh huh

[jthorrocks]

honda hands down

[firehawk]

I have a 2004 Arctic Cat 650 4x4 and I love it. Could use more power but what cant.

[masterbeatty]

Honda my dad has a 350 rancher with the esp. and he went places my buddies 660 grizzley wouldnt cause he got water on the belt and couldnt pick up wheel speed. so at the end of the day the slow little honda dragged the 660 out to the trailer.
