New Quad suggestions?

[GaryCarter]

I'm working my way around to getting a new ATV, and looking for input. I want a 4x4 utility quad, but one with power, speed, and handling. I want a machine that can tote a load and run the mud when necessary, but mostly fun to trail ride. Here's where I'm at so far:

Kawasaki 750 BF- #1 on my list right now because of a great power to weight ratio.

Polaris 800- yawn. Mostly because the last four were all Polaris and I'm ready for a change. And at 770 lbs dry I hear the Kaw. is faster? Plus Sportsmen don't jump or slide worth a darn because the suspension has so much travel.

AC 650 H1- only makes the list because it's got tons of clearance and wheel travel. Reputed to be the #1 mud machine. I'm thinking those same attributes won't make for crisp handling.

Honda Rincon 675- reputed to be the best handler around; light weight and well suspended. Not so hot in the power and transmission though.

Bombardier 800- king of the HP hill @ a reported 62... but I read negative reports on quality/reliability, and handling.

I guess I'm leaning more towards the "fun factor" with this next machine. I've got the Polaris Ranger when there's real work to be done in the woods.

Any and all input welcome!
