Started looking at the CFMoto ZForce the dealer had. Sitting right next to the 500, it was hard to miss.

Started talking to the dealer and he great things to say about them, however he didn't push me either way, he said both CFMoto & Honda make great machines, Honda just has a much longer track record.

I know this is a Honda forum, but am I crazy for even considering the CFMoto over the Honda. Did some searching online and the CFMoto get great reviews. What do you guys think?
Save your money, buy a backpack, walking sticks and Granola Bars said no one ever. Seriously, any brand is good if you own it but I have always had Honda motorcycles, ATV's and now the side by and when I bought it I did not consider anything but a Honda. Not to give my age away but I bought a Honda Elsinore 250 when they first came out.

Yea if we were talking a couple thousand dollars I wouldn't mind taking the risk, but at around $10,000 you better know what you are buying. Peace of mind means a lot and even though the Honda can break down to, it's still probably the best SxS you can buy.

I can always buy nice rims and other add-ons to jazz it up.

BTW, what plow setup do you recommend, should I go with the Honda equipment or aftermarket?
