I was just wandering why honda,or any other atv manufacturer for that matter, doesn't offer a foot shift big bore 4x4, I have owned 1 and ridden many automatic 4x4's and will never own one again. The rincon everybody complains about not having a low range and no engine braking so why doesn't honda put their auto clutch 5-speed on this machine, i for one think it would be the ultimate big bore out if they did. Please don't tell me because thats what people want because no manufacturer has ever made an auto clucth over 500cc.

 

huh. that 500 thing is funny. the biggest ive ridden is a 454 auto cluch. nobody wants to break that barrier with a manual tranny.

 

the foreman 500 (actually 475cc) and the suzuki vinson 500 (offered in auto or auto clutch 5 speed) and the arctic cat has a 500 offered in auto or auto clutch 500

 

does anybody else like the idea of a foot shift big bore or are you content with the automatics?

 

That is just what I have always wanted, even more than that I think a sporty manual 4x4 would sell very well because it would give you the best of both worlds, great power to have fun with but the 4x4 to get you anywhere you "need" to go.
I have never particularly liked automatics because to me when you going up a road or something they are always seeming to lug or strugle and when you are going on level roads or something it never seems to settle into a crusing mode or what ever it is just reved way to high for the speed it seams, but hey this is just my opinion, I like shifting my own gears and hearing my engine rev to the sky or just cruse around in the low rpm's with my GEARS.
Metal will always be stronger than rubber.

 

A big bore with a 6-speed autoclutch is what's badly needed in this industry.

 

if they had a fully manuel big bore, i would buy it

 

a rincon 700 6 speed with hi low super low ranges 18 speeds that would out pull an old 2 cylinder john deere

 

nothing will out pull a 2 cylinder john deere

 

Ahhh, the old "poppin' john" They are some cool tractors.
