If we are talking new ATV's then consider something besides Honda for the money. I sold my Honda Rubicon and bought a new Kawasaki Brute Force 750i and love it.

I'm a Honda guy but they are in the stone age when it comes to new ATV's. Yes the dominated the industry for over 2 decades and make nice wheelers but for the money you pay a lot for less. And they ain't as reliable as they used to be.

I bought my BF last October and once I sold my Rubicon I wanted another Honda but I wanted at least a 700, power steering, locking from diff, low range, push button 4WD independent suspension and good brakes. Guess what - Honda don't make that.

After months looking at ATV's, taking to dealers and researching I decided on the Kawasaki. Its AWESOME! I let anyone drive it if they ask and they absolutely love it. Its what I call a 500cc sized ATV 750cc v-twin! My lease is in Jackson Co and you need a good wheeler to climb the mountain thats not a tank. It has more power than I need, goes anywhere, tows anything, uses less gas than my Rubicon and feels like you are driving a small ATV. It's light and nimble. I was looking at the Yamaha Grizzly and on paper it looked great but it was huge and drove like a tank. That's my .02
