In all seriousness, the one that's sitting in your garage is by far the best! I don't care what brand your riding, if your riding you're having fun and enjoying the sport and that's what it's all about!

Still I have had good luck with Honda and Yamaha too, so I would never hesitate to buy either one...... but if you gave me the keys to a 450R, YFZ450, and an LT-R450 and said pick one...... my leg would be over the Quad Racer faster than you could say "Suzuki" .......
same here man!!! well said!

Don't like what about the Artic Cat ? I looked at Atric Cats today and they are still on my list.

I'm only looking at 4x4's but it needs to be small enough that a 12 yr old boy can handle it. He can't really handle my Honda Rincon, but the meat that I have on them rims make it harder to turn.

All bikes are good ones if taken care of properly. With that said I prefer Honda and Yamaha. I don't have any real experience with Artic Cat or Can Am however. Seems like to me there are alot of old Honda's still running around which is a credit to there great craftsmanship.

Reliability - Honda and Yamaha

Features / Fun - Polaris

Power per CC - Can Am

Suzuki - not sure about their ATVs yet, but like their bikes

Have had 4 Polaris - Most innovative but require some maint. My early ones had so many grease zerks that I missed a couple and had to replace the bearings - didn't even know the zerks were there until the bearings went out. First ATV was Yamaha Wolverine - hardly any maintanance. However, once I rode a Polaris I sold the Yamaha and bought another Po it was so much fun.

If your life depends on it and you don't care as much about the fun factor, consider a Honda. But I have yet to ride one thats near as fun as any of my 4 wheelers. I'll put up with a little more maint. to have more fun.

My '98 polaris xplorer has been nothing but problems (broke down every time it's been out), while both my yamahas ('03 wolverine & '06 kodiak 450) have been ridden hard and come back begging for more. Then there's honda which is being 50/50. The '86 250r still runs like a bat out of hell while the '82(?) odyssey keeps having carb issues.
