i have a kodiak and love it wouldnt buy any thing esle.my dad and a couple of hunting buddies has kodiak and you wont find one better for the price.keep in mind where your going to ride.if its open any size well do. if your in the mountians on trails that are narrow think about something in the 300 or 400 range.i freind has a sportsman 500 and i dont really like it . its center of gravity seems to be to high but that mite because im used to a smaller bike. when go down a steep hill it chaters and seems to be unstable going down hill.i have never owned a honda but have always heard good things about them. i heard the bombardier is a good bike but it is trurly priced to high!!!but who knows , ride a bunch and read up on the reviews and good luck picking one!!!!!!!!!
