Awesome, just totally awesome, this transmission is so smooth it makes silk feel rough in comparison. I'm telling you when you hit the throttle you just keep going faster, no noise, no hesitation absolutely nothing to give away the fact that you are shifting gears. Even when using the ESP system you can't feel the shift, not even when downshifting from high speeds. Honda outdid themselves this time!!

Sweet! Nice going, did you buy the new Rubicon, or just test drive? Well, that's a dumb question, if you bought it you'd probably be out riding it wouldn't you?! Awesome, I really like the esp and Honda's too!

He was pretty sure this one was sold but he is expecting 2 more in a couple of weeks with one of them sold already and if I can get the right price for my Foreman then the other is sold also.

How does the ride compare to your Foreman? I assume you have a 400 Foreman. Is it any smoother that a 450 Foreman?

My rubicon came in this morning. All I can say for now is, "It's Awesome". It is very smooth in any mode you put it in. Turning is lighter than the 450's and sharper. I'm looking forward to taking it for a good ride. A lot of planning went into the construction of this machine.

The sales staff and the owner of the dealership were very impressed. Comment from them, "We'll sell a bunch of these things if we could just get them in". They were amazed at the way it felt to ride it.

Actually I own a Foreman 450s the 400 is for the ex I own,but like rubione said everything is smoother and more comfortable . It is truly a great feeling and great riding machine, they have raised the bar with this one.
