Po Po's are Much improved and I now own one yet I would not compare em to Japanese quality yet.  Like a Toyota/Honda vs a GM or Ford car.  Close no cigar.  Im telling ya guys Kawasaki T-rex is rock solid if that's what ya need.  Sorry but Can ams are NOT tough.  Seen it too many times.  Break all the time if abused a little.  Honda and Yammy would be up there as well in quality.  Honda Trans worries me.  How much are ya gonna spend when it breaks?  $$$.  Belts are $100.  Clutches are wear item as well.

I like seeing this.  I am going with a Honda Pioneer.  Have family that have them in Minnesota and they work them hard.  Plowing snow, hunting, trailing riding and haven't  had a lick of problems.  I think they have had them for going on 3 years now.  Uncke had a Polaris Ranger and got rid of it within a year.  Clutch problems and tranny problems right out of the box.  My family have been solid Polaris and Honda buyers.  A smattering of Suzuki's thrown in for motorcycles.

Yamaha Viking....a good choice. :tup:  I have the Viking VI.  Great machine.  New Wolverine is worth the look as well.

I don't have any experience with the Viking but I do know I would check em out, it seems that it is another real good machine.

Pioneer 500

Want to stay in the 700 - 1000 cc class.  If I get one I plan on working it.

Teryx and ya wont touch it for 3 years.  Warranty is tops in class.  Most are 6m or 12month.  My PS acted up once and then was fine again.  Kawasaki replaced whole system.  I think I just had water in a connection??  They said under warranty lets just fix it right.  Ok. 3 weeks and done.  I pd $10k for mine on sale at the time.  Such a good buy and rig.  The room and storage behind seats are awesome.  Noisey and cab heat in summer are only negatives.

Another vote for the Teryx.  I've seen them do some amazing things in Alaska and they are well built, capable, dependable machines.

I might be interested in that.  Is it a 5 seater?
