HELLO; Ive been rideing YAMAHA bikes at first and later quads since 69, every one has a brand prefference mines yamaha they just simply work, there tought and reliable and always sell. I push snow every year with my GRIZZLY 600 and it hasn't stoped yet., one thing I think youll find there are more parts for YAMAHA then any other brand so you have alot of options. GOOD LUCK....GREASY.
