I own a polaris 400 sportsman it hasn't let me down. However in all honesty if I had to buy new it would be: Honda and Yamie in that order. I have owned Hondas (still have a 400 foreman) and they have been excellent.[]
We had a 400 foreman in camp and it did everything we needed for years and still runs to this day. I forget what the actual name of the old Honda 300's were called ( we just called them 300's) seemed like in the mid- late 90's that's what everyone hunted on. If I could find one used I'd buy it today. Nobody wants to sell them though and rumor around my camp was the reason Honda stopped making them was because they were too reliable. Anyway, guess I'm getting off topic so : Sit on them and see whats comfortable, I'd recommend an optional kick starter in case the starter goes out for some reason, nowadays you still have to have the key for theft devices I guess. Look at what after market hunting accessories are available and what you may be interested in. Third party gun cases and racks are good but if your ATV has a small following it may be hard to find aftermarket stuff to fit. They all have 4 wheels and go in the woods so prolly small stuff you like would be the deciding factor.
