I second and third this re: Suzukis…gave my first one away to best friend when I was deployed and then sold my 2nd one (which I rolled down a literal mountain and it still started up and rode out to civilization to get to hospital) - sold 2nd one to a hunting buddy so I could “move up” to a Polaris Rzr SxS…which i’ve had nothing but problems with.

Suzuki’s are bulletproof.

Can Am and Polaris are high performance. They may last 10-20 years (especially after tuning, clutch kits, giant tires) whereas a Honda or Yamaha might last 40 years in stock condition. Honda and Yamaha and Kawasaki especially will be dogs compared to Can Am and Polaris.

I wouldn't own one that wasn't a Honda or Yamaha.

Love my Yamaha grizzly. Use it for all kinds of work around the house. I have a little 4x8 trailer that I put an engine drive welder, compressor and plasma cutter on. Pulled that setup around my property to build my pipe fence. It pulled all the 30’ pipe around the property and that heavy trailer setup without a problem.

The bikes are tuned to run slightly cleaner these days the benefit is the actual fuel mileage is a lot better if you are doing any kind of work off of them. My Ranger 900 would Eat You Alive with gas. The 1000 that replaced it got twice as good.

I'm back on a Yamaha now and the 12 miles per gallon is a real bitch.

Wouldn't buy and wouldn't even look into their pricing or reliability.

I'm not giving money to Mitt.
