What's wrong with a 300-500 honda?
One thing I don't like about the "lower" Honda's is the solid rear axle. In the hilly, uneven ground of West Virginia, they are downright dangerous. They flip way to easy for my taste. So I guess it depends on where you will be riding it. On flat ground, Hondas will do just about anything you want.

I have had no problems riding my solid axle Rubicon in the foothills of the rockies,even with both racks loaded with elk or moose quarters.In fact ,I prefer the stability of a solid axle when hauling heavy loads on sidehills.

If you are a big guy as I am you will love the size of the Polaris. I have the 700 and it fits me great. I tried the grizzly and the kawi, they feel too small. If I was going to get another atv any time soon it would be a Ranger or the Rhino. A lot of the guys that ride with us have gone to the Rhino. They are dual purpose and have no problem with keeping up.
