Rich, if I were you I would go with the Honda. They are the most reliable as fas as a "get on and go" ATV. We have run anything from Suzuki, Kawasaki, Polaris, to Honda. We have never run a Yamaha ATV, but from what the local dealer says it is the perfect ATV, IF YOU LIVE IN TOWN. I can't give you a honest opinion on the Suzuki because it has been about 10 years since I have run one. I really hate to say anything bad about USA made, but DO NOT buy Polaris. (I know it wasn't one you listed.) They are great machines and go like hell untill they break down, and then they will give you trouble from then on. We have owned about 6 of them over the years before we smartened up. EVERY ONE gave us a lot of trouble. Then after that you can't get anything for them on trade in. The Polaris dealers don't even want them back. The Kawasaki is a good machine. We have 2 Prairie 400s. One still runs and the other needs a overhaul. In three months time we put 1500 miles on both of them and hade no trouble other than putting a spark plug in them. We are now running Honda Rancher 350 electric shift. We have three of them. I am not quite convinced that I would buy another electric shift. Sometimes the shift sensor goes bad in them and it wont shift. (can be done manually, but pain in the butt)I wasn't quite sold on the foot shift either because of the full running board. Looked to like it would fill up with mud and snow and then you can't get your foot under it to shift, especially with snow boots on. The automatic is more money, and they are not the best thing when it is really cold out. My final judgement is the Honda because they just seem to keep going. In the end it is really up to which one you think will work the best for you.
