I'd have to agree with the honda or yamaha sentiments(kawasaki seems to be good also). I think that the honda is slightly more bulletproof but not quite the performer, while the yamaha is slightly better performer but not quite as bulletproof. I had my 03grizzly elk hunting w/ 2 other hunters who had polaris700's. We broke down and had to ride the scooters out in 2-3ft of snow a distance of @23 miles. When the polariss were trying to lead we made very little progress, I took the lead and went nonstop, no slowing down whatsoever, matter of fact they couldn't even keep up when I was breaking trail and they were just following. I thought at first that it was just the riders, I am fairly experienced but NOT exceptional rider. I got on theirs the next day when we were getting our elk and was not impressed w/ the polaris at all. just my experience/opinion.
