Who makes the best ATV and who makes the worst?

Well, as you can by my user name I favor the Can-Am. I currently have a 2008 650 XT and the onyl problem I have had with it is Warn winch. I trail ride and use it in the winter to plow, which this winter we had over 150 inches, the machine worked mint. The machine will haul anything that I want it to. The Can-Am has plenty of power and great handling. In the year that I have had the Can-Am I have put on 650 miles. Plus, the Can-Am came with a 3 year warranty.

A friend has a Can Am 800 XT, which he ended up blowing the motor in. They backed it up with a new replacement motor. This rider typically puts 1000 miles plus on it in a year, but says that if honda comes out with a 800 machine, he will go back to Honda.

My wife has a 2008 Honda Rincon GPScape, which we had some minor problems with. For example, the spark plug has had to be replaced and for some reason for the battery as a tendency to die. However I can say that the Honda has been flipped over down a 30 ft embankment and the real damage was where a tab broke through the fairing and messing up the aligment(which has been fixed). The Honda doesn't feel like it has the stability of the Can-Am nor the take off speed, probably because of the shaft drive. Wife thinks the machine is awesome however, so whatever makes her happy, right?

A lot of friends have Polaris machines and don't have many problems with them.

Artic Cat and Yamaha don't sell too many machines in my area.

In conclusion, whatever machine a person decides to purchase, they probably be happy to get out and enjoy nature.

happy trails

It's not what you drive, it's who's driving.

for them. And the 700h1 has same suspension as the thunder cat.
