About to purchase new quad....can you help?

[02YamahaBigBear400]

Hey guys I went to the dealership yesterday looking for a new quad but I knew which two i was interested in. I like the Suzuki Vinson 4x4 500 auto or manual. They have three 04s left. The other is the Formen S but they didn't have any in and they said the new 05s were coming Dec. 8th. So I need help deciding on the vinson or the foreman. What would you get!

you will be happy with either one that you choose.

 but honda gets my vote

I have an '03 Vinson and have had no problems with it. It's got about 1500 miles on it. No complaints. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Good luck.

I KNOW FREINDS WITH BOTH AND NO PROBLEMS

A buddy of mine bought 2 vinsons and is very happy. Great handling for a non IRS bike. Also, the dealers are discounting the 04 models he got his far below suggested retail. Check the motorcycle trader for price ranges. Good Luck!

i would go with the honda

the new 05 Honda has lots of upgrades like new front disks, larger engine, and can be had with GPS and other goodies.  You can go to the Honda site for the full rundown.

I own an older Foreman S and can attest to the reliability, like all Honda stuff it is ROCK solid.

With the new improvements I am sure you cant go wrong with the Honda

Do yourself a favor, wether it's Suzuki or honda give ARS in okeechobee a call or you may be spending more than you should

My name says it all. I am Honda all the way. My wife has a suzuki and it is very reliable. I would go with the Honda personally.

Have you considered Arctic Cat ? Suzuki motor , bigger gas tank , more ground clearance , more rack capacity , locking front diff , more suspension travel .  Much better bike .

I think you should get the vinson.

Just me personally but I fell in love with the new Polaris 800 twin if your going ute and going big.
Bartow Motor sports is moving and has some great deals. Just my 2cents

Two places to buy bikes that I would recommend. ARS in southcentral fla, or Southern Honda.com they're in Tenn. but I saved $1200 per bike. No one in three states could touch it.

That may be because they did not charge you tax. If you buy a quad out of state then you don't get charged tax but if you ever register it in Florida you will pay tax when you bring it to the state. If you were gonna ride croom then you would need to register it I beleive.

[jwscroll]

This is correct. the taxes get paid when the bikes get registered here. I still only have to pay taxes on $4000 instead of $5200 which was the best anyone else could do. It's worth checking out if nothing else.
