when its down to reliability i think honda take over, if i had a bit of cash to spend id either buy a honda fourtrak or maybe a yamaha grizzly/kodiak, been told kawasaki klf's are shite but never had any experience with them same goes for the suzuki king quads but iv also been told theyre the same, seen a kawasaki kvf though and i think since they changed to ultramatic things have gond better...honda are the best for reliability though id say.

Value for money? My advice would be to never buy a new quad unless you intend to keep it until it is scrap :drink:
