My gut says keep saving and buy a Honda when I can, but thought I'd get the boards opinion first.

Couple years ago one of my good friends Dad had bought one to use for hunting. Wasn’t really put in the mud much and had quite a bit of problems with it. Service was a pita, he ended up putting it up for sale and it took a good while for him to sell with it with a pretty good loss. Take it for what it’s worth.

Get one of the Tractor Supply ones. Think they are Mossimo or something.

I’ve had one for almost 5 years and put almost 2000 miles on it. I’ve had no problems, brought it in for routine service twice. It was a great deal, came with windshield, roof, winch, and doors standard. It’s basically a Yamaha Rhino, but I only paid 9k. To match it with a Polaris, Yamaha, or Honda now would cost double that.

Don't know about them, but my brother in law had a Kymco. He saved, and got a Honda Pioneer.


He wishes he had the Kymco back. I'll admit, it was a pretty reliable ride.

I bought the one from Cabelas (it’s a bennche with different badging). Have had it for 3 years now. No issues with it. I use it for hunting and work at the camp. It was to good of a price to pass up. Cabelas sold it to me for $7500 out the door with a roof included. My only concern now is getting it serviced with Cabelas being sold out to Bass Pro.

Hit or miss.

Keep saving.

For a Yamaha. Not a Honda. I don't feel like typing it all out again.

Trust me, you don't want to deal with the shitty ride, low power, and ridiculous unreliability of the Hondas.

Agree with this. My Viking will walk all over the 2 Honda Pioneers in our club.

It's not a power house, but keeps on ticking.

I had a Ranger....loads of power but the clutch was junk.

Had a 2004 Rhino that's still running strong with its 3rd owner.
