The new kawasaki's are great runners. You can't hardly buy a bad atv nowadays. My cousin uses two 1998 kawasakis, a 400 and a 300 that both run like the day he bought them. They have been driven hard from day one. He uses the 400 to plow snow too. Around here in Michigan you harldy ever see a honda in our area. I have seen mostly kawasaki's, polaris, and yamaha. Must be mainly due to dealers. I own a 2001 polaris sportsman 500 6x6 that has been a tremendous machine. It has been a powerful beast, reliable, not one breakdown and only changed the battery this winter. I bought it in Detroit in the crate for $5600 dollars. A dealer in Minnesota had two of them and went out of business and sold their inventory and I got a great deal on it. You should consider one of these machines. They are in a league of their own among 4x4 atvs. They can out pull, push, drag, haul anything so much better than any conventional atv it isn't even funny. You can haul 800 pounds of cargo in that box through just about anything you want to. I have had 15 fifty pound bags of wheat seed in the back of it ferrying it out to the field from the barn many times for planting and it handled it very well. Try that with a 4x4. This thing is a very well built machine and a true joy to own. If you can get one on sale for $1000 dollars more than a regular 4x4 buy it because they can do many times the work. I also love the automatic transmission. I use it to pick up trash on the roadsides sometimes and it is easy to operate and get on and off from. Good luck, they are all great quality nowadays. Later.
