I have owned Polaris ATV's since 1993 and they are great!! I currently have a Sportsman 800 and a Sportsman 500 and would highly recommend any Polaris.

arctic cat - very nice having great ground clearance. owned 2 w/ only needing regular maintenance. they are bigger than most other brands. i also like having a 2" built on hitch. you can't go wrong w/ any major brand - just base your decision on what use you will put it through the most.

Artic suc and polarsuc's go back into the shop to much. For dependabality Yamaha and Honda 
For abunch of proud to be Texans you all are sure loyal to your oversea markets all your doing is putting Americans like yourself out of work. 
Honda ATVs are built either in Marysville, OH or at their new plant in South Carolina (exact location escapes me). I know my Honda ATV was manufactured at the Marysville plant which has produced nearly 2 million ATVs and motorcycles since it opened in 1979. Honda employs over 25,000 Americans at their domestic manufacturing facilities and another roughly 100,000 at their authorized dealers in the US. Don't know whether they're union or not....nor do I really care. And I sincerely doubt they have any illegals on their payroll.

I didn't mention where their headquarters was....nor do I care. I'm well aware they're a Japanese company. Merely showing that Hondas are made "by hardworking Americans just like you and me" also....and have been for quite some time. So the "buy American" battlecry really doesn't float here, unless you're under the impression that South Carolina and Ohio are no longer part of the Union and the employees in their facilities are not US citizens.

Their profits go in large part to their shareholders since they're a public company. Who knows....maybe you're a shareholder. Better check the holdings in those mutual funds....don't want to be a Hirohito sympathizer.
Hurl insults all you want....I was merely showing that owning a Honda is not taking any American jobs away like you said....SINCE THEY'RE BUILT HERE TOO and employ hundreds of thousands of HARDWORKING AMERICANS.....a fact you either didn't know or neglected to mention in your posts.
I don't know why you'd own a Japanese flag, but you can go ahead and keep it so you can have some extras. I've owned several Honda ATVs built in America by Americans, have never had a problem, and would recommend it to anyone in the market.

Ironic that you are bashing those who buy foreign products when you support unions. Who has done more to damage American industry than unions? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
