i would say buy the one that offers the best deal. they are both very well built machines. we run suzuki now just because that was the best deal at the time i was buying. no problems at all with it and it has 4000 miles now. but i still have a honda and have owned yamahas. with no major problems. only machine i reqret buying was a polaris. to much up keep. hate to say it but the machines from japan win hands down.
