    Honda Rubicon vs Yamaha Kodiak 700 ES

    Ended up with a Rubicon. I was looking for both. Came across a good deal with low miles. Grabbed 6x10 trailer yesterday. DMV trip today. Helmets/goggles ordered. Working on insurance, ties downs, security attachments for the trailer, etc. Thanks for the all the input. VERY helpful...

    Vortex spotting scope

    Agree. I wanted to like this scope due to weight but with field use it wasn't all that helpful IME. Glassing a buck 600-800 yards. Unusable on the upper end. This was not a low light scenario. Low end was okay but I had better clarity with my 10x42 SLC. Side-by-side comparison.

    Vortex spotting scope

    I had a Razor 11-33. At higher magnification I found it underwhelming for my needs.

    Honda Rubicon vs Yamaha Kodiak 700 ES

    Right! It won't be new. Looking used. Looking for the same 2 quads. May come down to which I can find at a reasonable price. I think they will both serve my needs well.

    Honda Rubicon vs Yamaha Kodiak 700 ES

    Truth. I'l already thinking of #2 when I don't have #1. Could get one of each. If I go Honda I would probably pick up Yamaha 450 ES for the wife.

    Nice. If you had to pick one? Might be a bit jealous you have the two quads I am contemplating. LOL

    Honda Rubicon vs Yamaha Kodiak 700 ES

    Started with SRA vs. IRS. Going with IRS. New to quads but I have narrowed it down to these 2. Looking for input. DCL vs Ultramatic transmission. Anyone ridden both of these models pros/cons. I was mainly looking at Hondas but I can't overlook the amount of love this Kodiak 700 gets online.

    QUAD Single Rear Axle vs Independent Rear Suspension

    Yamaha has peaked my interest. I've been looking at the Kodiak 700. The Grizzly is more of a quad than what I need. The 450 would likely be fine but I think the 700 is the sweet spot for me. Not anemic but not too much. This will be my first quad.

    QUAD Single Rear Axle vs Independent Rear Suspension

    IRA it is. Thanks for the input. Almost bought a SRA which would be fine. But I prefer not to get beat up on the trails. Looking at Honda Rubicon or Yamaha Kodiac 700. Honda d/t reliability. I have read some don't like DCL d/t feeling like the transmission is always looking for the right...

    The one I'm looking at is a Honda Rancher 4x4, EPS, DCL, SRA. 1251 miles.

    QUAD Single Rear Axle vs Independent Rear Suspension

    Most likely. My son, he weighs 145 lbs and I don't see any major weight changes anytime soon.

    QUAD Single Rear Axle vs Independent Rear Suspension

    Background: new to quads never owned one. Use: hunting, scouting, forest roads, spur roads, BLM, nothing hardcore. I don't plan on using this for hardcore off-roading. Not going to be used on property/land so I don't need a workhorse. No downside to IRS but do I need one for this purpose...
