Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Yamaha Grizzly vs. Honda Rancher

I'm thinking about buying a mid-sized utility ATV, and I think I have narrowed my choices to the Yamaha Grizzly 450 and Honda Rancher. Both models that I'm interested in are 4WD, auto transmission and electric power steering.

Yamaha has a decent video on YouTube comparing the two, and according to their video, the Grizzly has a "true" automatic CVT, front AND rear diff lock 4WD, more ground clearance, better towing capacity, etc.

However, I believe the Honda has shaft drive and EFI, which I sort of like for some reason. In my mind, at least, I would also give Honda the edge in reliability.

There are two separate dealers located near me, and each has a pretty good reputation, and so that is pretty much a wash.

Any toughts on these two ATVs, especially from those with experience?

Thanks.
