So I think what you forgot to mention was
buy x it costs almost twice as much as buying x but it technically oftentimes lasts twice as long, however not necessarily
and I'm still holding strong especially when it comes to atv etc ppl tend to be way to brand loyal which is fine, but tend to enjoy hearing only the bad. There are crummy models throughout all of the lineups and years, make sure you compare apples to apples
you stick to any of the big companies, weigh the pros and cons, do research on particular models your interested in and look at the history of those and u should be doing well.
arctic cat electric issues one several model years i've heard are a problem, and have also heard it's straight forward and cheap to fix. For a while some of their motors were Suzuki which was top shelf, so again I'm not sticking up for cat it's just an example of understanding. Electrical issues can be common, man it's junk. Nevermind that Suzuki in there, or that there are easy fixes that last ...just look at the bad
Whatever you do, I hope you find what you want and that it will be relatively trouble free for years to come
