    Sold both my wheelers and am now looking to buy new.
    Any have a suzuki king quad? I keep browsing qt them as a option. Other then that I’m thinking of buying another Honda. My rancher was the best machine I’ve ever owned.
    My eyes has also been heavily one the foreman rubicon.

    Honda is the best utility ATV in my opinion.

    Based off of everything I read honda or yamaha is the way to go. Ill be in the market in a few years and will likely get a Kodiak or rancher

    I sold my outlander 800 and wanted a new one but just don’t like the new can am.
    The ranchers are great ma Hine for chores around the house. Mine went through hell and back. Thats why i am learning toward another one but I also want something bigger as well. My son would fit great on the rancher in the future

    Suzuki and kawasaki both make nice machines as well as the Honda’s and Yamahas. Guy in our deer hunting group has a king quad and it has been a great machine for him

    What don’t you like about the new can ams? My dad just bought a new 650 outlander and we just got back from a Weekend riding tip in black river falls today. I rode his outlander for a while and that is one very nice machine! Very smooth and you can tell it’s a solid built machine

    I don’t know much about the new machines, but a dealer that I was at with a buddy when he was looking at them sold both, the dealer was of the opinion that the Yamaha was more reliable and had less minor issues than the Suzuki, but the Suzuki gave more bang for the buck.

    I’ve owned two Suzuki King quads since 05. Great reliable machines. Went through 3 plows and 3 winches with my 05 and traded it in for my 2014 with power steering. Both have been problem free, and I haven’t been easy on them.My other choice would be a Yamaha Grizzly. Suzuki is usually the best bang for the buck. Best belt systems in the atv industry. Suzuki also has a maintenance free sealed wet brake system. Larson’s in Cambridge will usually price match.

    Congrats on the Honda purchase. I was in the same boat last Nov. Had my heart set on a King Quad but ended up with a Rancher. Couldn’t be happier with my Honda.

    We currently have both a Honda and a Suzuki. They are both newer models and in IMO the KingQuad is by FAR a superior ATV.

    Mechanically they have both been just fine. The king quad just drives much nicer, handles better and seems to go through more. Just my opinion.

    What size honda and what size suzuki? Both have power steering?

    I leaned to honda because of the locking diffs you can actually have a true 4×4 machine when needed.

    After my rancher lived through hell and back for years is the reason I leaned toward the honda again

    I have a 16 foreman 500. I ordered a recoil kit and put that on in case the battery is ever dead when I need to start it.

    I have a 05 king quad I know it’s 15 years old but I have over 8000 miles on it.I have replaced the bushings in the front suspension, belt 2 times and this weekend I will be replacing the rear bushings and a cv shaft. Also replaced the battery about every three years. When my boys were younger we did a lot of trail riding.
    Between the shape of the seat and the very nice suspension I was able to ride all day all weekend.

    I went with the honda but now am looking for a used 2nd machine for the girlfriend and son to use. He rode my rancher just fine and I will most likely be looking for another one of them.

    I think it’s from Heinens.
