06 Brute Force 750 V-Twin. Never had a problem with it. I keep it maintained. That is the key. Had a Honda Rancher and beat the crap out of it and it ran like a top. As long as you take care of them, they will last. Start her off with a 250 or 350. Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha. I've had to push all of my friends Polaris's back on the trailers too many times. I wont ever buy one. JMO.

ps as far as hunting and most recreational uses i really think a 500 or close is all you need , went to mena ark and did all the trails and my honda recon 250 went everywhere the my 750 kaw the 660 yam and the suzuki 700 went , i could see buying the bigger if you used them for work otherwise at least in my case it was all ego except on the suzuki i bought it from a out of buissness dealer in the crate for 4050.00

Honda!! I've got 2 Honda 4 wheelers and they have both been great. I just bought a Polaris, it's an 08 but had been setting up and had less than 20 hrs on it. The carb needed to be rebuilt and I just got it out of the shop yesterday, so haven't had much time to ride it, hope to get it out tomorrow and see how it does.

Have a 2000 yahama grizz 600... getting carb reworked now...other then that its a beast.


Whats ever you get do your self a favor and put a small filter in the gas line...it will save you a lot of heart ache down the rode.

POLARIS! I have owned 2 in the last 10 years. Have a 2007 600cc sportsman that is a beast and it is loaded. even has a 2500lb winch on the front and I am usually the one towing the Honda, Yamaha or the Kawasaki back to camp

HONDA...

Honda Rancher 420

Love my Grizzly. Over 4000 miles and not one issue. This is one monster machine.

Nice lookin rig

I have always had good luck with Yamaha. Here's a link I have to one in the trading post section. It might be too big for her though.

honda by far, and I have owned them all, nothing but Honda's now

Have 2 Yamaha 700 grizzlies with PS and love them. Fixin to either sell them or trade them in on a Rhino.

I've had Hondas, Suzukis, and Polaris. I'm a big fan of the Honda.

suzuki was first 4 wd atv and i think the best

Well if she's a small girl, don't get her anything over 400cc's.
I would suggest 350cc's or less. Honda is by far the best. I've raced/rode quads since I was 5 years old. Yamaha/Polaris aren't worth the money. Kawi's are pretty good. But def can't live without a Honda.

Had Honda 3 wheelers the a Honda rincon 680 then a Honda foreman liked the foreman loved the rincon , have a buddy with an old Yamaha that always runs and a buddy with a Polaris all are good bikes , depends on mainenance and purpose for which is best suited but all will do a wide range well for a long while if taken care of in my opinion

can somebody tell me the difference between the rincon,foreman & rancher? thanks again

Rincon is 680cc
Foreman is 500cc
Ranchers are 420cc

does anybody have an opinion on the kawasaki prairie? i did buy an '05 rancher recently but now i need one for myself
