Troy, Missouri | I currently have a Honda Foreman 500 four wheeler. I like the drive shaft that Honda uses on all of their units, four wheelers and side by sides, but I think they are really the only one that uses that. I believe all other manufacturers use belts now? My wife doesn't really like to drive my four wheeler as she is just not comfortable with them, and in the future, we would like a side by side as it seems more safe (roll cage, 5 point harness, seats) for 2 people to ride in on trails. The group we ride with, we like to ride trails. Them and myself aren't ones to see if I and my ride can climb the steepest hill. I enjoy riding trails though, even some of the more difficult ones (we encountered some down in Tennessee at the Ride Royal Blue park).
My dilemma is that I don't know which one to go with. My wife likes the sporty ones like the Polaris RZR, while I like something that I can still use for utility. I actually thought the John Deere RSX 860i looked really nice, and just saw that Polaris has the General 1000. I know nothing about either, other than both still have a bed and hitch to haul/ pull things with, yet sporty looking and have get up and go. I just don't know about the belt drive though. I never had a single issue with my 1996 Polaris Xplorer 300, but I have heard that and even seen that Polaris's don't seem to hold up. Now, some people I ride with are VERY rough on stuff....so perhaps I just have a bad image of them now.
Does anyone have either of these machines and ride them on trails and through say water? Just want to know how they perform riding and working as well. Thanks for the info! | |
