I have an old Honda ATC 110 three-wheeler. It isn't much, but it still gets me around and hardly ever breaks down.

I have a yamaha kodiak 400. It is a good 4 wheeler but I'm looking at buying a grizzly for my next buggy.

Do you guys know anybody that has a Polaris Sportsman? They always caught my eye, wondering how well they perform.

teamhona my friends have sportsmans and they seem to have trouble with it not kicking out of 4 wheel drive due to it getting dirty in their front hubs.They do have a nice ride though.

I owned a Polaris 350L, liked it alot then they came out with a 4stroke, so I bought a Magnum 425. I liked it even more, no 2stroke stink if I use it to get to my bow stand. All of my friends drive Polaris and haven't had any major problems. I like the automatic clutch Polaris offers but now that almost everyone else has one I am not sure what my next one will be, not that I'm thinking of switching though.
My 2 cents.

I have a Arctic Cat 300 2x4. I find that where I ride, mostly for hunting that it works fine for me. I have mounted a 2000# winch on it.I use it as a high speed lawnmower type of riding.

I have a 2000 Banshee with a few mods, and 99 Warrior that's stock. I mostly use my Banshee for hunting, and occasionally I ride some trails.

I just sold my 1998 Sportsman 500 and will be buying the high output version in another month. I never had any trouble with the Polaris. As far as the ride goes it is very smooth, the power is excellent (used mine to launch a boat) not overly fast, but I mostly ride the woods.

I have polaris 4 wheelers. i have not had many problems with mine . They have been in Canada , Wy , Montana and Idaho and used HARD . would only ever buy polaris at this point. Thye are good bikes. ASlso i like the fact that i do not need a metric wrench to do anything to them :)

I own a polaris sportsman 500. The on demand true 4wd is a great feature, when it comes to offcamber rock and hill cimbing. I would buy another one if I had too.

I just purchased the 350 Honda Rancher. I am a first time quad owner but so far I have been very impressed with the power this thing has. I like the idea of shaft drive verses belt, 90 % of the use is on ice and or shore line. I also bought because of the 4 stroke, and Honda's reputation for unbreakable engines. I hope the transmission and shafts dont give me any problems. Any one else have knowledge of Honda's?
