2006 Yamaha Big Bear 400 or 2006 Suzuki Eiger 400

[HONEY]

Hey
I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on any differences or which one might be a better choice. I mean there both basically the same 2wd/4wd switch, 5 speed with the auto clutch., etc.
thanks

look at the warranty and durability of the yamaha. the ease of putting on accessories, and the better factory tires and witch one has been made for decades and has all the bugs worked out. the yamaha is probably a little more heavy but that in its self has its pros and cons. (pros) like snow plowing. (cons) like handling on the trails. but I think the good out weights the bad in this case. my vote is big bear all the way.

I own a BigBear and I have rode a few Eigers in since they have been out. The Eiger is really comfortable and looks good and handles ok but is down on power and has had a few problems since it was designed that I know of. I have beat my Bear to death ( somewhere around 1500 miles now) and nothing major has ever fell off or broke. Just normal items for what it has done to it and what I take it through
