Honda Foreman 4x4 or Honda Rancher 4x4.

The Honda 300's were good machines in their day, but the last one made is 16 years old now. I'd want a lot newer than that if I was looking for reliability.


Those old 16-year-old 300s were much better machines than the Ranchers for a good number of years after they were introduced. Might as well buy new then unless you can find a good deal on a lightly-used 5-year old. Either the Recon (Honda) or Ozark (Suzuki)....I think I'd go with the latter for its better disc front brakes and manual shift tranny, but those are personal preferences.

Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
