I was thinking the other day about brand loyalty... when it comes to trikes, I stick exclusively to Honda. But I started thinking about the other machines I have, and quickly realized i'm brand agnostic!

Between my bikes trikes and quads, I own Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Can Am and Husqvarna. 5 different brands total - I like each in their own way!

How about you guys - do you stick to one particular manufacturer for all your toys or do you enjoy a variety like me?

Even with all the other options out there these days I remain partial to women.

I , much like the recent departed Barnett, only stick to FACTS when it comes to my vehicles. And if it doesn’t say Honda , please remove it from my garage.
FACT Honda is , was , and always will be the best atc, atv, motorcycle and utility vehicle ever made.

I'm partial to Honda for most things including ATV's, ATC's, yard equipment/small engines and cars. BUT recent issues with some of my stuff have got me thinking that Honda had better get some new engineering ideas in house or innovation is going to pass them by. My newest ATV is a 1998 Honda Fourtrax 300 with over 10,000 kms on it; it gets regular maintenance and still works well. But I bet the brakes and suspension on a new Honda still suck like it does on my model! I like anything that works as it was designed, and for a long, long time. Older Honda equipment had that skill set but I question it now. Don't even get me started on which Diesel truck I would buy if/when my 06 Cummins dies?

I like Honda myself. Bikes,trike,dirtbikes, presser washer motor, snowblower. All Honda.

Yes I have a Yamaha R6 and had a golfcart by Yamaha.

honda things seem really good ngl my polaris quad always has issues and cost a lot more than my trike and I want to try a honda quad one day. But also want to try suzuki again.

I bleed red for the most part. Lotsa Honda's. Even an old Integra for a daily driver. Most of the time I go by track records, not race tracks, but the test of time.

I own at least 1 thing from the big 4, if not several.

Honda street bikes don't do it for me though, unless it's a dual sport. I was originally looking at vmax's, but none of them seemed to make it past 60k miles with out major engine failure. I ended up settling on a kawi zrx...good track record.

I don't like to settle for just one brand in any given circumstance. Some brands just did it better. If I can't decide, I'll buy both.

Honda and Yamaha. Mainly Honda for the ATCs and Yamaha for bikes. 2 CRF110s an XR200, 2 ATC70s, liquid 250r, 07 YZ250, 76 TT500 and the newest addition a YT60 rounds out the collection.

Yamahas dirtbikes are in my opinion superior to all the Jap bikes, would really love a new Beta 300 if I won the lotto haha. Then of course Honda speaks for itself when it comes to ATC/Vs

I wouldn't say I'm die-hard brand loyal, but I definitely pick and choose models. I have a 3 tecates in various states of disassembly, a kawi 450 quad, trike, and dirtbike (which will soon be a trike), a kawi 750 brute force quad, and 2 Honda 200s hard tails (one RPFLU and one trail machine). I say pick and choose because brands have reputations. Kawasakis are built for speed, Hondas are slow and reliable. Like my buddy Stickers says, "Showing up to a race with a Kawasaki is like taking a porn star to prom". Pick and choose wisely people

If its cheap and i buy or trade for it and it does what i need it to cool, if not no big deal. Not loyal anymore. Loved Honda's til they got ugly and make nothing. Yamaha works good with new skool crap 2000s plus. Not sure what a Suzuki is, Kawasaki ok that's fine.

I like anything that I don't have to work on that much.

I tend toward Honda ATCs because of this but also more because of parts availability.

I'd be proud to own any brand
