Finagler 6853 Life Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 I've seen Polaris behind the curtain. Experienced what it is like to be a supplier and how they operated. I wouldn't buy anything Polaris. In these parts you see Polaris equipment for sale all the time. Rarely Yamaha, more rarely Honda, and practically never Can-Am. I just recently bought a Kubota UTV, assembled in the US. Thing is like a tank. Goes 40 MPH which way more than I need. Bought it for the wife who is always complaining about the several used golf cars we have that all have metal boxes and get beat everyday.

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 I had 2 Polaris quads. My wife road a 400 & I had a 500. Put many miles and hours on both of them here in the Colorado mts. In 10 years never did anything except oil changes & tires. Very reliable and tough. I now have a sxs Yamaha Rhino which IMHO is way better than quads.

I call it an old man's motorcycle because I figure in not too many years I'll be rolling my wheelchair up to the side of the mule to side into the seat. Straddling a quad would be out of the picture by then too.
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 28, 2019 Author Posted October 28, 2019 WELL, I made the plunge. I got a new Yamaha Kodiak 450 EPS SE. The 600 Kodiak looked great, but for the increase in price vs. my actual needs and requirements, the 450 I got is perfect. I did upgrade my tire purchase and got some more aggressive tires for it. The Grizzly was just a tad big for me and my usage needs. The Kodiak feels more like a nice trail ATV with great handling abilities. I hope to post a pic later. Beautiful machine. I love the fully automatic drive system. And coming down off a steep embankment or hill doesn't require much brake usage because the engine has a great breaking system when you let off the throttle. More later. ..........Widder
