Default ATV Choice Suzuki King Quad 500

Is anyone running the new Suzuki King Quad 500 ? The quad reviews look good and the specs look good too. Wondering what is a popular ride in the 500cc range . The Kodiak 450 is nice too , lighter and smaller all around but also less ground clearance and smaller fuel tank and seat.

I've been riding Suzuki since 2003 and have good luck with them, I ride a 750 and I bought the wife a 5oo last year. It's got great power and rides like a cadillac. The only thing is I wish they had back up recoil, I carry a small boost pack.

Been running Suzuki quads since 96. Have had Eigers, Ozarks and currently 500 King quad. Zero issues ever. Love the power steering on the 500 but kinda wish it had a pull start even though I have never had a dead battery yet.

I have 03 Vinson 500, still running strong, even though I barley ride any more.

After Yamaha I’d choose Suzuki.

Suzuki 500, best quad I ever had, did breaks once in 14 years, couple wheel bearings, fuel and oil. Skidded logs for building cabins.
