Suzuki is what I've been driving the last few years, first time I got on the Suzuki Eiger I'd never go back to a Honda. Not so keen on the Kingquad (which they all are named now) but I only drove one for a short time.
At my weight it seemed the 4WD Hondas were just too heavy to handle right - I'm around 110 - 120 lb and was much younger then, reckon they did a lot of shoulder damage. The Suzuki you could get on it and drive it like a car, forget the whole hauling it round tight corners deal - and they switch between 4WD and 2WD as needed, though I never found mine hard to handle in 4WD.
I think my first bike might have been a beartracker - is that Yamaha? Liked that little bike, it was 2WD and had a knack for breaking down at inopportune times but it was nice to handle and didn't hesitate at mud. To a point... I might have rescued it with the tractor once or twice.
