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...

Check and see, I think they are starting to get aftermarket retrofits.

I run 2 quads.
#1 is a 1998 Yamaha Big Bear 350. It is bombproof and starts the first time, every time. I really like it for working around the property and in the bush as it's very maneuverable in tight spots and always has lots of power. 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.
