I’m new to the forum, but a long time owner of ATV’s, UTV’s, motorcycles, etc., and currently own a 2014 Honda Rancher and 2015 Honda Pioneer P500. I have found the Honda Pioneer P500 to be a great unit and perfect for doing work on the back forty, hunting, etc., and now thinking of getting a “more trail” ATV for pleasure riding. My Honda Rancher is exceptional, but I had the opportunity to drive a CVT model with independent rear suspension and for long trail riding that is hard to beat. I have owned Yamaha’s for many years and wouldn’t hesitate to own another. So, here is my dilemma and based on my limited research, believe the Kodiak is a great fit for me, but stuck between 700 and 450. I have a price point where I want to be and basically, I can get the Armor Grey 450 with EPS & nice wheels for the same price as a base Kodiak 700. I am aware of differences posted on the Yamaha webpage, i.e., 700 differential lock, etc., but have never driven either one. I personally haven’t owned a ATV with power steering and confident I would like it, but at the same time, I have no problem with manual/traditional steering either.
I plan to go ride both, but curious what do you see as a reason to pick one over the other? Again, the price is identical when comparing these units, and obviously cheaper for a 450 without EPS...
