Leo, How much do you want to spend and are you look for power

bigscrub79 · September 07, 2005, 09:34:54 AM

I have a Suzuki Vinson and it is very reliable, good on gas, and its automatic so i dont have to worry about shifting.

If the Vinson is too much money (worth every penny), look at the Eiger- I have one, and LOOOOOOOOOVE it! :Y I got the 5-speed, but it is an automatic clutch. 4x4, good power, handles well.

I must agree for the money,Leo you really can't go wrong. The Suzuki Vinson is a great bike. I love mine. It fast, realiable, and goood on gas. I use a tank in about 100 miles.

checkout the Honda Recon ES. It's a great handling bike for smaller frame people.

sk8r_dude · September 07, 2005, 04:18:07 PM

My buddy bought 2 Vinsons for a steal of a price. They have been great quads for him at a very reasonable price. For a little more, you can get an 05 Grizzly. I picked up one of my new Grizzlys for $5999 + shipping from a dealer in Alabama. What a difference from my Kodiak, the Grizzly rides like a Cadillac.

NP04Foreman · September 07, 2005, 05:22:17 PM

GET A HONDA FOREMAN RUBICON ES 500 they are badass bikes and you will not regret any of the money you spend on it my friend just bought one and between my foreman and his I like his much better... there is no bike in my opinion that will beat it.

Southern4x4 · September 07, 2005, 05:23:51 PM

a 300 fourtrax 4x4 or 2x4 is a good reilable bike and is good in mud if u got sum good tires u cant switch from 2x4 to 4x4 though if u got a 2x4 ur stuck wit a 2x4 if u got a 4x4 ur stuck wit 4x4 plus their not that expensive like about 3000 but u gotta get a used 1 cuz they dont makem anymore the last year wuz 2000 i think

I have 2 Honda's..... 04 rubi and a 02 Rancher , both 4x4

The Rancher is the most bang for the buck. Not the fastest quad out there but it runs like 50mph on the road with the stock tires. I have 26's on it and it slowes it down quite a bit. You can only run it in 2nd gear in the deep water and mud but it is a going machine with the 26's. You can push it out if it gets stuck because its real light.

As far as an option to take it out of 4x4...well less stuf to break(electric switck and stuff)

The Rubicon is a great Machine also. I like the trany the best and the high low option it has. Top speed with the stock tires.....55mph...I got 27"s on it to run with the Rancher with the 26's
You will need a winch to get it out when its stuck. pulls the 27's like they were the stock tires.

There is your Honda input...

He sure does.

stump66 · September 08, 2005, 07:11:03 AM

The Grizz is the man and puts them through hot,cold,ice,snow mudd and crudd so if he is changing to a Polaris I'm quite sure Grizz did his homework. I love my Polaris its the most reliable bike I have. :ThumbsUp.gif

I just recently got a Polaris Sportsman 500 HO and I absolutely love it, Plenty of Power, IRS, This thing rides like a caddie

Pepe · September 08, 2005, 04:35:43 PM

Yamaha Kodiak 450 Auto. 4x4
There is the power and handing and the same trans & case as on the Gizz and IRS.

Um... How about locking differentials...Standard on grizzly 660.

Did I mention underpowered? One person it will maybe do 55mph.. put two people on it.. your looking at a slow 45.

Grizzly 660/ Prarie 650/ Suzuki King quad 700 - Vinson 500| All GREAT bikes. But one thing on the prarie. It doesnt have IRS, but thats really a luxury item.

I love our King quad. Lots of power and real good in the mud.

King Quad or Vinson, have both and they are great machines. I haven't put the wifes KQ through the stuff I put my Vinson in. The Vinson is bullet proof. I call the KQ ''The Red Rocket''. It's pretty impressive for a ute.

4x4 for my lady & myself
