    A cousin has one of those. Their nice, but if you want to go major mudding, and stuff get a polaris 700 or a yamaha 660(forgot the name of the ATV)This is my opinion, the polaris and yamaha are alot stronger, quicker, and are better. For example, I was about in 2 ft of water and mud in the honda, it made it but if felt like it wasn't going to make it. With the other 2 models they made look easy. But if the price is right on the honda, go for it!

    Get a Yamaha Grizzly. I had one and never came close to getting stuck. I did have 27" tires which helped a ton.

    If you are gonna mud alot then I would really recommend a honda. Not knocking the other brands because there is alot of nice yamahas and such but honda is shaft driven on front and rear. Yamaha and suzuki use belts to drive 4x4. Mud eats them up because a couple of my buddies change belt after belt. They sell a disc brake conversion for the drums fairly cheap at rocky mountain atv. Hope this helps. I used to hit the mud every weekend on my honda. As far as electric shift, I have submerged my bike a couple of times and never had a problem yet.

    I HAVE A POLARIS SPORTSMAN 500 FUEL INJECTED. IT MUDS WELL. ITS ALL STOCK AND I HAVEN'T GOT IT STUCK YET. IT HAS AN ELECTRIC SWITCH FOR 2X4 TO 4X4. IT ALSO RUNS GREAT. LOOK AT THE DIFF. I KNOW THAT SOME ARE JUST 3 WHEEL DRIVE. I THINK POLARIS IS THE ONLY TRUE 4X4, FRONT AND REAR LOCKS UP IN FORWARD MOTION. THE RUBICON IS A SOLID DRIVE SHAFT WITH NO BELTS THOUGH. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHERS. THE POLARIS IS MY BEST PICK.
