Hey guys I went to the dealership yesterday looking for a new quad but I knew which two i was interested in. I like the Suzuki Vinson 4x4 500 auto or manual. They have three 04s left. The other is the Formen S but they didn't have any in and they said the new 05s were coming Dec. 8th. So I need help deciding on the vinson or the foreman. What would you get!

I have an '03 Vinson and have had no problems with it. It's got about 1500 miles on it. No complaints. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Good luck.

A buddy of mine bought 2 vinsons and is very happy. Great handling for a non IRS bike. Also, the dealers are discounting the 04 models he got his far below suggested retail. Check the motorcycle trader for price ranges. Good Luck!

the new 05 Honda has lots of upgrades like new front disks, larger engine, and can be had with GPS and other goodies.  You can go to the Honda site for the full rundown.

I own an older Foreman S and can attest to the reliability, like all Honda stuff it is ROCK solid.

With the new improvements I am sure you cant go wrong with the Honda

Have you considered Arctic Cat ? Suzuki motor , bigger gas tank , more ground clearance , more rack capacity , locking front diff , more suspension travel .  Much better bike .

Two places to buy bikes that I would recommend. ARS in southcentral fla, or Southern Honda.com they're in Tenn. but I saved $1200 per bike. No one in three states could touch it.

That may be because they did not charge you tax. If you buy a quad out of state then you don't get charged tax but if you ever register it in Florida you will pay tax when you bring it to the state. If you were gonna ride croom then you would need to register it I beleive.

This is correct. the taxes get paid when the bikes get registered here. I still only have to pay taxes on $4000 instead of $5200 which was the best anyone else could do. It's worth checking out if nothing else.
