Is your honda lifted with oversized tires? Only reason I ask is because if you lift a bike and put big tires( like those artic cats) and don't put Gorilla axles it doesn't matter what u ride u will eventually snap your axles.

I have a 97 Honda 300 Fourtrax, starts first time, no oil burn, would take one just like it over any of the new state of the art units.

I have a 2001 350 rancher only problem I ever had was brakes ...

Do consider the 420 Honda. Great bike. However its hard to beat that Honda 300!!

I
 

That is correct. I had a new Suzuki 400 and I just put bigger wheels and tires on it. It didn't take long to break the axles. I put the gorillas on it and when I sold it 2 years later they were still in great shape. I paid over 3 hundred a piece for them but worth it

You sure it was the bigger tires that broke the axles? ;)

Hahaha!!!!! You so funny!!!!

I have a lift and 27's, they run gorillas and still bring spares. They say its not if but when they'll break. They rebuild the axles themselves now to save money

It's always when will they break no matter wat u got they WILL break if your running in the mud gettin silly

Been down that road and they are exactly right. I know I snapped 7 axles just off the top of my head. As an axle would break, I would replace it with a Gorilla. I ended up snapping 2 Gorillas mid shaft, looked like it was cut with a saw it was such a clean break. I had 29.5" Outlaws and had a big bore kit, programmer, few other things on a 700 Grizzly.

yeah one runs 31" outlaws and the other runs 32" terminator 2's, bad to the bone when they aren't broke, my buddy with the white one is actually selling his for 3500 with the broke front axle and is going to get him a Razr.

hard to bad mouth artic cat for breaking axles when they look like this and are just run through the mud. any brand with these lifts and tires would snap axles. I have an 04 artic cat 400 with over 1200 miles on it and its never been to the shop. Have had good luck with hondas also but a lot of it depends on what you plan to do with it and how you maintain it. also have a 650 prowler and would buy another artic cat in a minute

I do like the prowlers and agree on any bike breaking under that bind but they've fought engine issues as well which may or may not be related to the big lifts.

Honda is hands down most reliable, but one of the biggest reasons they are more reliable than the others say the artic cat that was picture is cause they have WAY less power, they don't have the power to really snap axles and other drive train parts. I own a rincon with a gear reduction and it does not com close to my buddies can-ams and kawasaki brute forces. but if u just want a good reliable hunting bike that will never leave u stranded and requires very low maintenance stick with the honda.

I have the Honda 500, son has Yama 650 Grizzly, both have been good bikes. Mine manual shift, his auto. Weve had both 4 years, I have to say I really like the auto trans.

I have an 03 honda rincon with 27x 10 vampires on it and have not had any problems. it has been to hell and back riding the rice fields and marsh. i can not complain.

Have a Yamaha 450 also had a 400 i sold both bikes no problems one 4yrs and 1 6yrs still crank every time. Honda is reliable butt can't get the options on a smaller honda that you can on a smaller Yamaha. Run mine on deer lease also have a 700 rhino.

Had an 06 500 foreman with 28 inch outlaws, rode it pretty hard and never had any axle problems whatsoever. Honda is the way to go

Honda or polaris.

Can am!! The ride says it all..
