2012 a.c. 700 ltd. Only 300k on it so can't speak for longevity but it is very powerful, tunable suspension, power steering, locking diff, independent suspension etc ect ect. Moose camp guys have mostly Honda followed by Yamaha, I'm the only one with a cat, and, I'm also the fastest without trying. I love the quad, the only thing I can see where an improvement can be made is in cornering. Even with an adjustable suspension I can feel it roll as opposed to slide like some of the smaller bikes. Could be do in part to its high ground clearance. For the money I don't think I could find a better machine. My 1st choice would have been Can-am but couldn't justify paying an extra $4-5 k for a similar setup.

Yours is also a pig on gas so it doesn't surprise me its parked mostly . We call them garage queens .

1. And how do you know how far it's been driven?
2. I haven't ridden a Yamaha?
3. I don't care about gas, if you can't afford the gas then don't buy it.
4. Garage Queen hardly, it got ridden quite a bit in Sault Ste. Marie - the real north.

I have a 95 Yamaha Wolverine 350cc full time 4x4, and it is the most bulletproof bike I've seen, paid $1500 for it almost 4 years ago, and have put a total of 70 dollars in repairs, my fault!. It has hauled countless deer, seen countless mud holes, and just has no stopped kicking. I sunk it in a mud event had 6 inched of water plus an inch of sand in the air box, flushed everything out, started like nothing! I personally think the older bikes are built more durable and to last, and I think a Yamaha or Honda would be an excellent choice, but it all depends what its uses will be.

Ok lets see a pic of the speedometer . Roe . I would like to see the mileage compared to my 2008 Yammy . The real north ? Do you mean to infer something by that ?. Well lets see mines been all around Nipigon . I'll tell you something about gas . It's not just the price, it's when your travelling with others who run them and the rest of us have to pack the fuel on ours so they don't run out before we get back . Packing a gas station along just for that beast Im sure must be fun to you ,eh ? LOL Well it isn't for me when I carry for others just because they drive a big Suzy . Lets see the mileage on that SUZY , Roe . I'll take a pic of mine just so we can compare a garage queen to a bike that is a year round runner being used not as a show piece . lol

Your Wolverine has the same engine as a Big Bear. Get used to riding and beating on it as it will likely be around for another decade of service.

If you want a smaller bike for work and around the hunt camp a few times a year as stated the older yammys hondas and suzukis are all excellent choices. If you want to have some serious fun and are past the novice mark the newest big bore canams and polaris's are far and away in a class of there own. Personally i would stay away from cats and older polaris's as in my experience they are more probe to failure but thats just me. Lots of guys love them. Also generation 1 frame canams are prone to bending if ridden hard.

Lots of cat and Polaris haters. Here's a review you may be interested in. Cat is the #1 rated atv followed by polaris. Honda is 3rd. Anything else didn't make the front page. http://www.atv.com/specs/utility.htm

That isn't worth the eyestrain to read Jeff . These can be found for any and all machines and depends who is sponsoring the write up . As far as popos . My bud just picked a brand new one up this past Wednesday . It already is dead and had to be pushed and pulled and it's suspected its in the engine of this brand new 570 . Won't know till this coming week what's up .
