Honda rubicon VS. Suzuki Quadking???

fatmallard · 08-02-2006, 07:16 PM

I am in the market for a new ATV. I have always lived and died by honda bikes, however the reviews are really good on the new Suzuki QK. They are both the same price but the suzuki has some added features that are not on the Rubicon(i.e. EFI, independent suspension, locking dif., 200 more cc's) I duck hunt everyday of the season so it has to be durable, reliable, and carry heavy loads through deep water and mud. Can someone please give me some in-sight on the two bikes (pros and cons)
Thanks, Fatmallard

I have an atv with the independent suspension, and quiet frankly I'm not nearly as happy with it as I thought I would be. Don't get me wrong the ride is incredible, but put a little extra weight on it and you can hardly turn it and it gets top heavy. By the way I have a 2005 Artic Cat 400. It has the most ground clearance on the market, but I haven't been very happy with it from a hunting perspective. I have always owned Hondas up until this point and that is all that I will purchase in the future. Plus it is hard to beat the engines on the Hondas. My best friend still drives a 1998 fourtrax 300, and he is rough as heck on it. It out performs my atv by a long shot. Good luck in your search buddy.
