My first one was(is) a Chinese knock-off. You definitely get what you pay for. My second is a second hand 2005 Honda Foreman 500 with 9000km on it. Again, you get what you pay for. Both were priced within $500 of each other and the Honda is 20x better than the Chinese. Pay the extra for a well-known name. You will thank yourself in the long run...
I have a Suzuki Vinson...great....if I could get it power steering would be nice....
Check and see, I think they are starting to get aftermarket retrofits.Quote:

When I'm hauling wood out of the bush I can pull a face cord of ironwood and cherry (not sure what it would weigh but it's heavy) and not have a hiccup.
#2 is a 2005 Suzuki King Quad 700. It's never given me any problems, and when I want to go fast, it'll do 110 on the GPS. I put Mudlight XTRs on it and have really had good luck with them. In most instances it's my hunting machine as I can cover distances quickly and it has the tires and power to get through some really gnarly spots.
You can save yourself a lot of money buying a used one. I look for used Hondas that have been owned by someone over age 40. You can get a reliable well cared for machine that had many years and miles yet to give, at half the price of a new one.
Those are hard to find they rarely come up for sale. get passed on to family or friends.Quote:
