I dont know about the sp500, but having owned both the traxter and the rubicon, I hate to break it to ya but:

Mud: Sorry bud, but your three wheel drive wont put you in front of the Traxter.

Snow: See above

Hills: All in the rider

Speed: Wrong again!

I have to agree. The Traxter would be the king of this group!

SORRY MAN, WRONG AGAIN. If you research a little more, the traxter uses a 'trax lock' progressive locking differential. If one front wheel spins freely for about a turn a clutch pack locks the front diff. (ie: If you tie the machine to a tree and let er rip, you will have 4 holes not three. I get the definite idea thast you have already decided that honda is better (even though I feel I've proven different) and if so, why did you start this post? Are you intelligently gathering information to make an informed decision, or are you just another 15 yr old puke trying to start a flame war??
