I owned an 87 350 big bear until 2 years ago and replaced it with another identical one only because my buddy really really wanted it bad. The original 87 is still going strong and we work those things harder than you would imagine. I have dragged out moose ( whole ), deer, bear, skidded logs while making firewood and well ya just wouldn't believe what I have done to that bike. People automatically say Honda but in my experience the Yamahas don't give up anything to a Honda. A 400 class machine will more power than you will ever need unless you want to attach a plow to it for food plot making.
