Have a 1995 foreman ES and thing is great. Mud and water rough on bearings and they shouldn’t be used to carry heavy loads but starts up every time with simple yearly maintenance. I’ve sunk it and pulled it and drained it and in the woods and drove it home. Then changed oil.

Still running a 1995 300 4x4. I think it and cockroaches is about all that could survive a nuclear attack!

Yes unless the Bayou 220 is back out of its cage.

You're getting downvoted but you're not wrong.

Suzukis are everybit as bullet proof as Honda or Yamaha.

They ALL have their quirks and issues but one is as good as the others.

I've owned them all and the Rhino I currently drive has been an absolute BOSS


Yep, the Honda love is definitely a southern thing especially the Louisiana area. Not saying they aren't great bikes but to many people limit themselves to a honda when the other japanese brands are just as good now. 20+ years ago that was the case but not anymore. My family in MIchigan hates honda because they say they don't run worth a damn when it gets really cold.

Just find the best deal you think you can get and go with that.

I also ordered a flat bill hat the day I bought my Can-Am.

8 downvotes re: Suzuki…obviously from 8 folks who never have owned one.

Just picked up another Suzuki, a 750 King Quad that is a tank.

Never worry about getting stranded in podunk areas, unlike the 6 mile hike out I had to do with a Polaris 570 RZR…my first and last time buying a non-Suzuki product.

I wanted a Kodiak 700, at the time I was doing a lot of duck hunting and the bike was going to stay in deep mud and water.

Went with a Foreman with manual transmission and it has been great.

I would go Yamaha though now that I stay dry most of the time.
