Title: Suzuki ATVs
Post by: mod93dirt on October 03, 2012, 02:08:30 am
?? Is, are they worth a darn??

I am in the market for a new atv.  I have owned nothing but Kawis before, and thought I had my mind set on a Yamaha Grizzly 450. But Suzuki is offering 0% interest right now, and I am a sucker for buying things on other people's money. And the local dealer has priced me 2012 models at below MSRP.

I had never considered a Suzuki, so I was just wondering about other people's experience with them, be it good or bad. If it makes a difference, I am looking at the 400 with auto trans.

The arctic cat is interesting because it has the exact same drive train suzuki puts the motor tranny and all in the arctic cats

Between me and my partner, we have 4 arctic cats and wouldn't trade them for another brand.  They have a bad rap, but we ride them through the roughest brush south Texas has to offer and we just change the oil and put gas in 'em.  100% satisfied.

yeah it is possible that maybe he  just got a bad 1 because he was constantly having trouble with it, I have 1 of the 400 05r06 Arctic cat and its definitely the smoothest riding four wheeler i have.

i say dont waste your money on a four wheeler buy an argo its 8 wheel drive and will literally go anywhere land or water we cross creeks rivers everything its a bulldozer u can haul 6 people comfortable plus equipment prob only a few g more in my opinion the best hog hunting atv on the masnt knorket oh and you can pull a 16ft trailer loaded like its not even there and trees 4-6 inches in diameter it doesnt know they r there

ive had a suzuki i think 300 or 350 that we have really worked hard and it has endured  just great. im about 230 and can put another guy  on it and pull a trailer full of dogs and then put a hog on front and it works fine.
