Hello from Colorado. I'm new here too. Seems like a very good ATV site.

I have not acquired an ATV yet, but I believe I will in the new future.

So what's the plan for the Honda? How will you use this great machine?

Seems to me the ATV replaced the horse on the farm. Does that make sense?

just installed my lowrance for the lake maps for ice fishing. i am waiting for my 12v accessory plug with waterproof rubber boot, then i will splice the power cable and wire it to the plug. completely portable so when i can drive my truck on the ice, i can jus transfer it and plug to my cig lighter.

Thanks for the enlarged picture. So I've learned you're going to plow snow with it, and you're going to travel to your ice fishing spot with it.

Honda was one of the very first ATV makers. And Honda rather developed the "utv" selling machine versatility to farmers and ranchers. It should be a very reliable machine for you through the years.

Nice looking machine! Yep, Honda builds some great machines. About the only thing I could warn you about is be aware that the transmission shifts with electricity...and that is the only way it will shift. Only complaint I have ever heard is if the battery dies you cant shift into neutral and push it. Yes it needs 12v for the shifter to work so just be aware. Like the matching plow!!
