RE: Which ATV???
I think you cant really go wrong with any of the Japanese ones, Suz, Kawi, Yammy, Honda. I have experence with all three. The Polaris seem popular but often times experence belt slip. Hondas are good machines but over priced compared the others. I have a Suzuki 500 Quadmaster, I think its a 2000 or 01, has over 1,300 hard miles on it, "0" problems. Started out with a King Quad, 300 with manual shift, had plenty of low end torque but I wanted to power up hills etc.... which was not easy with only 300 cc's. It was way more then enough to take you and any gear you have wherever you go. I have not read specs since I bought mine but can not imagine things changed that much 4 or 5 years. Would love a 700 but can not justify the a new machine ;-) Yet!
