I was on a East Texas lease for years where ATV's were the mode of transportation from camp to stand and back. Most were either Honda or Polaris and great fun was had when one or the other broke down or got stuck and was pulled in/out by the other!!
We had one Polaris that took a wave over the bike causing the belt to slip..it was towed in by a Honda 300, where the owner pulled the covers and put a hair dryer to work drying it out!!
The newer Polaris 700 series 4-wheelers were the caddys of the woods, better suspension, power and clearance then the ole Honda 300's, but the Honda's were great on gas and never broke down.
The newer Honda's that replaced the 300 series have had engine problems.....and it was rumored it was...because they never made any money on repairs to the 300 series engines.
Hopefully all this has been corrected now and you probably can't go wrong with either brand but you ought to ride each ATV, the ride is much different.
Good Luck!
