Got some tough terrain to cover? Forget the yuppie Hummer and check out the Honda ATV line. Sure both will cover that tough terrain without any trouble but the ATV is a smarter and much more affordable choice.

You’ll get a four stroke engine with aggressive off road tires, all wheel drive, and carrying racks so whether you are in the lumber or oil industry, working the farm, or going on a hunting trip your ATV is capable of going the distance. The 4×4 will leave no terrain untouched.

Honda’s entry back into the 4×4 utility class back in the late 1990s was a bonus to those Honda customers that had been forced to look elsewhere. The sideways motor meant a lighter unit coming in just over 500 pounds. That makes it quite a bit lighter than the competitions model.

And they offer a wide selection of colors so if you are looking for something that blends for that hunting trip Honda has you covered with their low key color schemes. Then again if you are looking for something a little racier they can offer that too.

There ATVS come with heavy duty triple drum brakes and a five speed transmission. This ones a real work horse. And there’s no worry about storage as you can add the front or rear rack or both. And with so many styles to choose from you’ll be able to select the appropriate style.

This is an ATV that’s designed to get the job done. Top speed on the Honda varies but it runs around 50 mph depending on the model. That means you can get from one point to another in no time. And the heavy duty suspension will ensure your ride is comfortable even over the roughest terrain.

Honda’s fender design makes it a great choice for any stream crossing you need to do. It offers adequate protection as long as you keep your speed under the 40 mph mark. And it keeps a good traction pattern going even in the water.

And if you need to put the Honda to the test with some serious pulling you won’t be disappointed. Its 850 pound towing capacity means you’ll have no problem dragging that pole across the property. Or that big log – no problem what so ever!

When it comes to ground clearance once again Honda was thinking. Obstacles won’t be a problem and rugged terrain will be like a walk in the park. Over rocks, down the gully, whatever you can throw at it as long as you keep your speed low the engine won’t let you down. And the Honda ATV is one machine that’s tough to get stuck.

And as with everything Honda seems to do there is always that extra touch like the recoil starter just in case you land up with a dead battery. Won’t matter that you are out in the middle of nowhere you’ll get your ATV started with little effort.

Honda is a name you can trust. They’ve been building motorcycles, watercraft, and ATV’s for years. If you are in the market and want to be sure you get reliability, durability, and affordability then a Honda ATV is the right choice.

I’ve owned a few different Polaris ATVs, and really like most of them, but by far, my favorite Polaris ATV is the Polaris Trail Blazer. This is one of the most tweakable and enjoyable little ATVs around. Though unknowledgeable people claim that this model of Polaris ATVs lacks power, they simply don’t understand the strata of ATVs and how to purchase amongst the different levels in terms of engine size and whatnot.

The Polaris Trail Blazer comes with a 244 cc engine and runs about $3500. In my opinion, you simply can’t get a better deal on such a quality machine. This top of the line 2-wheel drive ATV features powerful 2 stroke Polaris 250 engine as well as a concentric drive system that helps deliver the power through the drive belt to the ground.

Overall, these ATVs are extremely easy to operate, very comfortable to ride for longer periods of time and are tons of fun. The only problem I’ve ever had with my Trail Blazer is that it sometimes requires me to wait and let the engine warm on cold days. In all fairness though, only n the coldest days here in Montana have I had any problems getting the thing to start. And that says something, as it gets pretty darn cold here.

One of the main things that I like about the Polaris Trail Blazer is that it’s very easy for inexperienced people to learn to drive. I’ve taken several people out riding on several different brands and models of ATVs and I have to say that every last person I rode with took much better to the Trail Blazer than any of the other ATVs that I own.

Among the features that I think Polaris does better than other ATV manufacturers, are superior braking and suspension systems, the automatic transmissions, as well as comfort and quickness. I bought my latest Polaris ATV in February of 2001 and I haven’t been bale to stop riding it!

The suspension on this thing is awesome. It will keep you on the trail and it’s a smooth ride all the way along, even on the roughest terrain. Of course the very comfortable seat certainly helps this aspect of riding a Polaris ATV.

I have to say that the craftsmanship seems above standard. I’ve rolled my Polaris Trail Blazer, oh, a dozen times or so and not one little bit has ever broken off of the thing. Now that’s impressive. I can’t say eh same thing for the Honda and Suzuki ATVs that I’ve owned over the years.

In my opinion, the price of $3300 is certainly very well worth it. Even though this ATV is rated as a sport ATV, you can still add racks or a tow hitch, which really impresses me. Not too many ATVs can handle utility like this one does yet perform like a sport ATV as well.
