From someone who uses his Polaris ATV literally every day as a daily driver, you could pay me to run a Honda, but I wouldn't do it for free. We have about a 1980 something Honda four trax we keep fixing and using at work, and after test driving a few Hondas I can say that I haven't been on a new Honda that rides and handles much different. Nothing but rough bedrock and rocky trails here and the way I ride both my 570 and 500 Sportsman make riding fun and easy on the back. Also, when I want to go for a good fast trail ride on closed snowmobile trails, or a faster trail they handle really well. Getting a few feet of air is good fun. I am building a cabin and just hauled a 2000 lb lift of pine siding a few miles up the road to my house, up the steep driveway, into my yard and then back without feeling any strain. I use it all year to launch my boats, 1000 lb waverunner, haul hundreds of pounds of carcasses, tow ice shacks, and other various stupid and random things. For the way I use them, my Polaris have never missed a beat, and I bought them both used. almost 5000 miles on the 570 now. Changed one belt. The guy before me used it for mudding I think and broke a rear axle, so says the service report. I have had it buried and no issues since. Maybe a bad axle. Only complaint I have is that the air breather for the clutches opens right ahead of the seat and if left in the rain for prolonged periods the clutches get some water inside and will slip. The water just drips off the gas tank and into the vent. Pulling the clutch drain plug for twenty seconds or so drains it, so no big deal. The 500 doesn't have this issue and from the first owner has never been in the shop other than to change one belt. On third set of tires.

pay the extra for gas without ethanol. use it in everything but your car/pickup built with fuel lines and etc that are designed for ethanol.

Trade it in for a Honda.
