Honda is definatly tops. Along with Yamaha and Kawaski.
Look around, you will see many old Hondas that are still going strong. You don' t see many older Polecats, er Polaris' they are in junk yards!
I wouldn' t trade a 16 year old Big Red for a new Polaris. My best hunting buddy has a Polaris and it stays in the shop way more than in his garage! (and this isn' t an isolated case!)
When he got his Polaris he said they sell more than any other bike, must be good!
No, they are cheaper! You still get what you pay for!
