Hate to hijack thread, but I'm in the market for a new one. Options are the King Quad 750 , Grizzly 700 and a Honda Rubicon. Anybody care to give thoughts on these 3? Thanks! BTW. It will be used on a deer lease. Mud and water over floor boards most of the time.

I have a '14 Kingquad 500 with EFI, power steering and rear and front independent suspension. Rides like a Cadillac and no problems yet. The EFI is legit especially when it's really cold. No messing with the joke etc. Just press the start button.

I would skip the grizzly for a special edition Kodiak instead.
You get all of the features of the grizzly , a more aggressive front, better clutching for hunting and working, and save 2k as well.
Powerwise, the Honda is low 30s. The Suzuki is almost 50. And the yamaha is near as makes no difference, 50.
The only weak point of the yamaha is when you hit 1000 hours or 10000 miles, the valve seals typically will start leaking and get some light puffs of smoke at start up.
Most people never get anywhere near that, but it did happen to me on my last one.
Keep your receipts for oil and filters and track your maintenance, yamaha will cover it under warranty. Or, they did for me.
$8 worth of parts and two hours later, and it was like new all over again.
Original brakes, all bearings, seals, boots, all of it except 31s. Not bad for almost 10k miles.
