Without a doubt the Honda's are the utility kings. There bikes are one way or the other; sport or ute, there ain't much in between. They aren't the most technically advanced bikes, but for the most part they are rock solid. I have yet to have friends with Honda bike break them unless they were doing some really ignorant crap.

Well, I had to use the bikes today to drag some yard crap out of the back, so I got a few pics while I had things hooked up...

Mine's the Red Grizzly. It's got the stock wheels & tires on there right now. My neighbors kid blew out one of my ITP 589's ($90 a tire). [:@]

The wife's is the yellow King Quad.

i have to say honda is a very strong front runner with there atv line. myself im a yamaha man..i have a 2006 660 grizzly...the main reason i picked the grizz is because we really have no trouble out of them. we have had a few people lock em in diff lock and get crazy and break some axles but other than that we dont really see no failures.also honda is getting horrible about warranty coverage.they dont wanna cover anything, they allways give the "i dont see this being a factory defect i think this is gonna have to be customer pay" ok that doesnt go well with the guy who payed 500.00 for an extended warranty....with yamaha if its under 400.00 you dont even gotta call tech line for warranty authorization,you just send the claim through and they will pay it. but im not putting down honda at all i just think they need to be more awasre that there stuff gets pushed to its limits on a daily basis and they need to take that into account. eventually its gonna break so fix it...the only quad i really dislike that honda makes is the rincon its without a doubt the least popular around my area due to its lack of hold back and reliability.....but everyone has there prefrences and im not at all throwing off on anyones ride...

 

Hmmmm, boy does that sound familiar. That is the ONLY breakage I've had on mine. I got high centered on a log, had the diff locked, stared rocking it under throttle and WHAM......apart came the left outboard CV joint. That was with the 27" ITP 589's.

Absolutely 100% my fault. Other than that, no issue from my '04 whatsoever.
