I'm in a wheelchair been in it for 22yrs. Started out with Honda 3 wheelers used to ride about 40 miles a day in the woods and mud. Can't afford a break down when your 20 miles from home and your by yourself and can't walk. Own a 1999 Honda 450 ES now wouldn't buy nothing but Honda cause I know they will bring me home everytime.

 

I personally own 2 ATV's 98 Polaris 500 sportsman. Only word to describe this machine is "tank". The other: 2002 Kawasaki 650 prairie. Wife drives this one, she's barely 5' and can handle it. Gobs of power, and handles nice too.

I like the tank, but I'm 6'2" 210, and its almost never failed me. Scared me one time, driving through a flooded road (lake) water up past the exhaust, wife yelling in my ear that if we get stuck...........Anyway, housing that covers the clutch and belt was leaking a bit, (bad gasket) and by the time I got out of the lake the belt was slipping enough to have to do some emergency draining.

Since that time, put new gasket in....and a removeable(yet sealed) plug on the bottom of the clutch/belt housing cover. Never had the problem since...

 

660 Grizzly. Auto, Hi and Lo range, front diff lock, IRS, tows 1200 lbs.
Race proven powerplant, gobs of power, water cooled.
Honda Rubicon also has hi and low range.

Good luck, have fun, be safe!!!
