I've had both kinds and I would never go back. Independant rear suspensions and belt drive are the way to go. Smooth, powerfull and quick. The Kodiak is not tall and tippy. If you're going to spend money on a Kodiak 400, spend a little more and get the 450. Then you'll have high and low range with locking front differential.

At 90 lbs., you need to be looking at the 250 class bikes!

How does someone weigh only 90 lbs.? I think one of my legs weighs in at 90 lbs.

Anyways.... You're not looking at a huge "cc" gap between a 400 and 450. It really shouldn't make a difference.

Best for you...or best for me?
Anyway, if youre talking about 2005 models, the kodiac has irs, and auto tranny. Theyre going to be totally different feeling to ride. The yami feels taller and tippier, while the honda is low and stable. The honda will power slide like a sporty, the yami wont. The honda is much more utility, solid axle, manual tranny,and low end torque. The yami is going to have a smoother ride, and will be the better trail quad.
Its all in how you plan on using it.

Which of these two utilities are the best?

Ok, so I'm leaning towards the Honda but need to know, according to my size (5') and weight (90 lbs.) should I be getting the 450 or the 400?
