It doesnt matter what u buy it's all personel preference,and as far as i'm concerned they all cost money to fix or add upgrades too.With all the technology out there today all the newer qauds are great to ride,sure honda's are great qauds but untill they get there **** together and build somthing over a 680 i guess we will just keep waiting for them on the trails.Polaris all the way.......

I would much rather wait for a Honda than fix a Polaris on the trail.

LOL Yep I remember those and they were the biggest pieces of crap ever made. Luckily the ones made today are of much better quality. Polaris has made leaps and bounds in the last few years and now make a decint product. You can't go wrong with either one imho. One thing that I like that Polaris has is their accessories. they have alot of really nice accessories where as Honda's choices are kinda limited to aftermarket.

i have a buddy who photo documented a trip into some mountain streams with two hondas and a polaris.

long story short the polaris snapped a rear axle and the wheel fell off.....they cut a section of log about 14" in diameter and chained it in place like a make-shift pontoon. pretty comical hearing the stories and seeing the pictures of their grueling trip off that mountain....he vowed to never invite a polaris owner on any more of his atv trips. LOL

your post made me think of this instantly and now im all over again
