Bryant,
If I was in the market for a solid, dependable four wheeler today I would search high and low for a early to mid 90's Honda 300 4x4. You can still find them in good condition, and you just about cannot tear them up.
x2 Honda 300, toughest bike ever made period. Polaris, Canam, and Kawasaki: "JUNK" Just my opinion.

Honda is all I have ever owned since my first 3-wheeler. Last one I bought was a Fourtrax 300 like posted above back in 2000. Never plan to get rid of it and you can't seem to tear them up. The new ones are bigger and faster but I can go anywhere they do and it is still light enough you can lift one end by yourself if you get hung up.

I have a Kawasaki prarie 360 4x4 I have had zero problems and have rode the piss out of it, it's faster than most 450 I have rode easy to handle works every time has a locking diff where you can go true all 4 wheel drive and you can't hardly get it stuck and doesnt use much fuel either, came new with camo and a winch for 4800.00 I don't see many guys on here bragging on them but to me there great and the ranch that borders me uses almost every brand and they suggested it after destroying alot of 4 wheelers

Had a 2003 Prairie 360 4x4. After replacing the front diff, a front axle,the 4x4 switch, and finally having the engine brake start messing up, I sold it and bought another Honda Foreman. I almost did not buy my Kawasaki Mule based on my bad experiences with the Prairie...

I hate to hear that about the prarie, maybe you just got a lemon, or maybe I just got lucky but mine has been bullet proof so far it's 2 years old and is ridden every day in rocky rough country, in ponds, creeks & every other place it will squeeze through. But I say buy what you like with your own money, I would buy another Kawasaki if I could afford another one right now, my only regret is not buying a buggie or utv I think it would suit my needs better. Just a side note there is an 2003 prarie 360 for sale by some one in the classified section as we speak

With yours only being two years old, maybe they have made some improvements over the older models, or maybe I did have a lemon. Mine was a 2003 model.

I have had both a Honda Rancher 350 and Kawie Brute Force 650 to hunt off of. The Honda is very dependably and will probably be around long after the Brute Force. With that said the Rancher couldn't compete when hunting. The bigger motor of the Kawie, diff lock, and smoother ride made the Kawie more useful and enjoyable, especially since there was only a couple hundred dollar difference between the two IMO.

kawasaki bayoo 400 4x4 was a good one until it got stolen. my suzuki 500 is a 2000 model and it has been ridden hard and no problems. Some of my friends got good deals on the polaris but have had problems with them... good luck in finding a good deal. If you find one that has been parked a long time and needs repairs let me know and I can probably hook you up with an honest mechanic. Sometimes those are the best deals. The mechanic told me that honda,kawasaki,suzuki and yamaha were all comparable, just change the oil and filter and keep stabil in the gas tank if you don't ride enough. I also use a couple of ounces of "militec 1" in my oil.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog... A hunting dog is born not made...
