Just to be clear, I don't trail ride for fun, or go bombing around on a quad. I value reliability and work function like dragging a whole moose, plowing my driveway above all else so for me the Honda is the right choice. My 2000 foreman is also the last of the quads short enough to go in the back of my pickup with the canopy on. For fun riding that Suzuki would be a great quad, they are pretty reliable, and they are much easier to work on than Kawasaki or CanAm. For the right price, and for fun riding where the Suzuki rides way better than a Honda of the same vintage, I would buy the Suzuki.
New Honda is going to set you back at least 9,000 if you want independent suspension. You could ride the Suzuki for a lot of years for less than half that.
