I'm looking of some input on likes or dislikes with your Rubicon. I'm looking for a new ATV for mainly work purposes in the woods. I realize that the machine you own is always the best, however, I'm looking for honest opinions on problems or the lack of problems you have had with your rubicon. You help is greatly appreciated.

 

I have loved my Rubicon. I havent really had any problems with it so far. I cant comment on the Traxter since I have never seen one off the showroom floor.

 

Woodtick- I was in the exact situation you were in a month or so ago. (you can find posts realting to this if you do a search using my Username (shumdit) and check these forums:
Honda
Bombardier
Buying an ATV

The answers I recieved in those may help you. I rode both and I went with the Rubicon. The width of the XT would not work for me and as you'll see if you read the post I made in the Buying and ATV forum, the Rubicon just was the better machine for what I needed it to do. Let us know what you choose!

 

i would have to say go with the rubicon I haved owned a Foreman 400 and 450S and they were great I am sure in keeping with the Honda line the 500 is no different I have ridden a Traxter and find them to be noisy, clunky and wide. Go with the HONDA
