I have had them all. Had good service from Suzuki and Kawasaki. That being said the Honda is very dependable and the resale value is outstanding. I have a early 2000s recon and it has been rode to death but it is still running. Honda is hard to beat.

Josh, a suggestion for the U bolt on the 500. Trim down the threads, and use acorn nuts with a little thread locker. No worries on them catching on jeans and such then.

suggestion for mounting bolts that stick out use the acorn nut with locking feature then you can cut excess bolt threads off the acon nut basically has round dome and hex wrench shoulder reduces snaging

Hard to go wrong with any of the big four manufacturers of Japan. I'm on my 2nd Suzuki Kingquad......my 1st 2009 KQ500Axi powersteering got smashed by a tree in a storm with 4000miles and 420h. Ran like a top, and never gave me any trouble for work or fun. Replaced it with a 2020 KQ750 and is as reliable as ever......just keep clean (for longevity) and replace filters and fluids.

A lot of people are 'crap nuts' about side by side units up here in the Nort. I mean, they are everywhere! They like to get muddy, I guess! ha They kick up dust on shoulders, no big deal really as long as they don't cross in front of me! I've always thought getting a 4-wheeler rather than a snowmobile, is more functional in winter here, and/or overall.
