Hi
I am new to this site
I have been looking around for a good farm bike and am thinking about getting a Honda 250. When I go to a dealer they try to talk me into a Yamaha even though they sell Honda's as well. I am a middle aged female
and I can not understand why they try to talk me out of a Honda
Anyone have any answers? |

I would buy a yamaha over a honda (because I owned one and loved it) Now EarthMover here will differ greatly on my comment, because he loves hondas, So go to your dealer and say well if Yammies are so good, let me use it for a few hours to test it.  Both quads are very good brands and niether make any junk, but if it was my $$$ it would be the 450 Grizz in a heart beat, it has all the bells and whistles and goes hard enough.

I would either look at the 400 or 450 grizzly , depending on how much you want to use it , both are a good quad one has more features than the other but they both have the same carrying and towing capacity , the yamaha bruin is cheaper but it has a lower carrying and towing capacity

HI Karen
Do you carry much on yours? I would like to carry a spray unit as well as the odd shovel and fencing gear |
