Yeah, we would like to buy a couple also. For us there are too many other variables so we wont yet, but we always look.
We have been looking at can am, yamaha, and suzuki.
All the brands seem to be very very close for quality now though.

We had a demo kawasaki before when I lived in PA, and that thing was pretty awesome. We didnt get to keep it long enough to see how it stood the test of time though.
The yamahas, from what I understand, make a pretty decent quad too.
Like I say, it seems like damn near every company is right up there in quality.
My grandpa had a 84-86 yahama quad that got used, abused and tortured, and when he sold it at his auction last year, it still ran like new.
My dad has suzuki king quads, and they work them, pulling animals out of the bush, stuff like that, and they have been extremely reliable.
Sherm just loves his "import" suzuki's too! (had to throw that in there haha)
My uncle has a few honda quads that are maybe mid 90's and they still work like new.
So for me, ive seen alot of good ones, form the major brands, that have proved themselves!
One quad I wouldnt buy though, is Polaris.

My backyard ends at Gregoire Lake, which is a haven for quading and snowmobiling! Actually we don't have near as much snow as last year, mostly slush, and not much coming in the near future, (fine by me).

if Ford made Quads and Bikes, i'd own them instead. Polaris is starting to get better, Can-am has taken the sport by storm, KTM is good, but they don't make a utility quad, and they're too durned expensive to service. i'd own a can-am, but i'm a guy who likes to deal local when i can, but the local can-am dealer is impossibly useless to deal with. my business with Schraders has been nothing but awesome, Suzuki's are top of the line products. you won't see a honda in my shop with my name on the title though.
