I have an old Suzuki 250 Quad Sport (1987) 4x2 an a newer Yamaha Grizzly 600 4x4. I prefer the Quad sport over the Grizzly because if it's size. I can lift the Suzuki into the back of my truck so there is no need for ramps and all the hassles that come with them. I rarely gets stuck and when it does, I just lift it out of where it's stuck. (it really doesn't take much to move it a few inches) I can haul a lot of stuff with it and I'm always over the GVWR but it just keeps on motoring! The grizzly is big and strong but it's almost overkill for what i need it to do.

When I'm ready to buy another I am going to sell both and go in the same direction as you...smaller and probably a Honda.
