As you can tell there are all sorts of opinions. I used to be a di-hard honda guy until they changed the engines. The next one I buy will be an Arctic Cat. Probably the 500 manual. Arctic Cat doesn't have the market share that all of the other big names do, but most Arctic Cat customers won't be caught on anything else.

I've owned several quads from different manufacturers and Hondas are my first choice. However, IF I were in the market for a new ATV right now then I would be sure to take a VERY serious look at Can-Am!

06 Polaris camo 450 4x4 Sportsman. pulled 2 honda 500s out of the snow this winter. love the ground clearance and power, not fast, but i didn't buy it to race. hauled my 290+lb.buck out with ease last fall! downfall would be too big to put in the truck, I will probably go with a yamaha or suzuki next, but agree that the new can-ams are getting a lot of positive attention!

06 honda rubicon 500. I wouldn't own a reparis or a yamahammer. Arctic cats are too unreliable and a suzuki will is a suzuki can't stay out of the shop long enough to hunt on them. Honda Tell I die

I have an 05 Arctic Cat 400 auto 4X4. It is a tank and the toughest quad that I have seen. Ya'll have seen the commercial where the guy drives one off a cliff and then flips it over and drives it away.... well that aint kidding. This past winter I made the mistake of riding when it was really cold out and stopping for awhile, well, it had snowed during my break and I didn't let the quad run long enough to warm up when I got back on. I head up a steep hill and give it gas, towards the top I let off just to find that the throttle stuck, but it was too late, by the time I tried to stop I hit a deadfall covered in snow, the quad flew atleast 10 feet off the ground and landed nose first then rolled about a dozen times down the backside of the hill. Went down, flipped it over, started it up and let it warm up for 10 minutes and rode it home. There was ZERO mechanical damage and I just bent the front bumper and rack a bit and cracked the plastic around the head light and the rear plastic. If that isn't built tough I don't know what is!
