I am brand new to the ATV thing and am trying to decide what to get. I was wondering if any of you that have the Rincon would give me your opinions of the good, bad, & ugly on it? I am going to use it for hunting, plowing driveway, and trail riding. I want a 4x4 auto with EFI if possible. Any comments who be valued.
Thanks

 

Well the new Rincon is now a 675 and it's EFI and you can take it out of 4x4. It has a 3 speed automatic like a car. It's been said that the rincon is 60% trail and 30% work. So ya you can plow with it, hunt, trail ride.

Now it doen't have a low range. May only need that if you'r going to put huge (27") agressive mud tires on it, and in really thick mud. Your going to get stuck just worse.

A nother option you may want to go look at is a Suzuki 700 those are EFI also and have a low range.

I personallly like them both reall toose up for me it would come down to price for me. Go test drive them both.

 

Thanks for the response. i have been reading the boards for about a month now and gathering info from what i read. it seems like there are a lot of +s & -s to every brand. the KQ does seem interesting and from what i am reading they seem to be priced right. i don't plan on doing any crazy upgrades, but 1 never knows.
BTW my wife and i are getting our furnace replaced today. i was sitting at the kitchen table reading a brochure of the ACs and he asked if i was going to buy an ATV. my wife said, yes, next month. he told me he had a griz 660 with only 300 miles on it that he doesnt ride like he thought he would ans asked if i wanted to buy it? i asked how much and he said 5500. it hasnt had anything added. i would need to buy the winch and blade and have them installed. he said to let him know if i was interested and after the snow is gone i can test drive it in the fields behind his house. im not sure if its an 04 or 05 but does it sound like a reasonable price? i plan on test riding as many as possible before i buy anything.
thanks again for any info.

 

You can get a brand new '06 Grizzly at Abernathy Cycles in Union, TN for $6,194, no hidden fees. I'm not sure about the sales tax. Most dealers are about $500-$1,000 more for a new Grizzly, with most adding various fees totaling around $300. There are a few other wholesale dealers that I know of around Tennessee and Mississippi with comparable prices. So, if you can find a wholesale dealer near you, I'd pay the extra $500-$1000 for a brand new one. If not, $5,500 for a Grizzly with only 300 isn't too bad a price. I'd see if you could get him down to around $5,200. Also, I'd take a look at Arctic Cat. If I didn't have my Foreman, I'd probably be driving an Arctic Cat.

 

Thanks for the info. I plan on test riding just about everything before buying, but if I'm being honest, I do love the idea of a new CAT. We will see what happens. This first one I get will be the plow vehicle and most likely end up as my wifes when I upgrade to bigger and better in a couple of years so I'm not sure what to do. I most likely will buy used, but you never know until you buy.
Thanks.
