anschutz.17hmr 0 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 always run honda but the last electric shift one really sickened me sticking in gear and the price quoted to repair it was the last straw,so swapped to yamaha grizzly ultramatic seems to be every bit as capable as honda and less to go wrong!also seen a report that mod are swapping from honda to yamaha after testing in afganistan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mongoose 39 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 The independant suspension on the new yamaha grizzly is crap they are very unstable with a bit of weight and on a gradient.... the honda is a far better machine.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anschutz.17hmr 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 don,t have to have the independent suspension on the rear its a extra on the 350 grizzly at a cost of about £500 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GoneToGround1 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 i bought a honda foreman 2 days ago, put it in the garage and someone attempted to nick it, thieving scum, they had my motorbike but couldnt get the quad out, if your looking for a nice quad at a nice price this is the 1 to have its kept at a mates now its too much to lose if that gets stolen, taxed untill 31/3/2010, all road legal, 52 plate, looking for around £2300 this is a honda foreman 450S with switchable 2/4wd you dont have to worry about getting stuck ever where you have 2 and 4, honda are the dogs.

Ali N 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I had the Kawasaki 360 2 or 4wd automatic, great for flat out speed and acceleration, couldnt pull teh skin of a rice pudding and kept breaking down. I was speaking to a dealer at kawasaki dealer at the game fair and he reckoned it is the worst bike they have made and he will not seel them as they are back for repair consistantly. The can am looks a nice enough bike though i havent tried one. I would go for a honda or a yamaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grousekeeper84 2 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 The place i used to work had 4 honda foremans and a yamaha grizzly all with the same tyres and the hondas pissed all over the grizzly every time far more sure footed and stable on the hill with better grip and far lighter to lift out when u got stuck and all! Just never go for one with the button shift just something else to go wrong and u need ur left hand free for holding the auto anyway! lol. Kawasakis are by far the worst bikes on the market dont touch them with a barge pole! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bootsha 1,306 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Got a HONDA 350 TRX 1992 (GLF & RAF), worked hard for a living, used annually for pulling christmas trees out as well, a set of back wheels on the front instead of the standard narrow style ones , takes a bit of hanging on to when you want to corner, but as I'm off road all the time not a problem, tank under the seat it's that old, but f@ck me wont it pull....., could probably do with some new shocks front and back as my fillings come loose on rough ground, but with those big wheels front and back you dont get stuck. Honda everytime. (even if your a mod !!) B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
