?? 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.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

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.

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.
