And to put my piece in, the V2 has a kawi V-twin, which is a powerhouse, and has been around for a while also

 

Thanks all. Your comments have all been taken into consideration.

Well, I'm leaning toward the AC. I know it's not a powerhouse, and the belt drive seems a little funky after riding the Rincon for as long as I did, but the Rincon is not what I'm looking for suspension wise. It's a nice machine, and probably is built very well, but I don't think it is intended for very rough use. Not to say it can't handle it, but I think it's a little too soft for not having any adjustability. As I read in a professional review, they said the Rincon rides so smooth, it could make the riding experience almost boring, and I can see where that could be true. The Honda does seem like the ultimate utility, but the AC seems to have a sportier ride, and would probably adapt a little better to any time I may want to get a little buck wild with it.

The AC 400, price wise, is an oppurtunity at this time for its capabilities, the wide choice of accessories are priced better, and I think I'll get it. My AC ZRT800 has treated me well in the past and still does when there is snow, so I can say I've had good luck with AC's products. If it does not meet my needs or wants, it could be a somewhat more economical start to let me know how I will be riding, and how much I'll even be able to use it. So far, I've already decided the Honda may not meet my needs, and I think I'll use the AC to get me started and let it tell me what I want in an ATV. The AC may fill all my wants and needs perfectly, and I may use it for many years to come, so I have to start somewhere. If I decide later the AC is underpowered for my upcoming riding style, at the very least, it will make a great 2nd ATV if I decide to upgrade later. So without just going for the big gun like I did with the ZRT800, which has its drawbacks that go along with being a powerhouse, I see myself with the AC 400 Automatic. I learned a lesson on the ZRT800, and if I could go back, I would have gotten a ZR600 twin. The 600 twin would have met my needs easily without having to steer, pull start, maintain, and feed an 800 tripple's thirsty appetite.

Sound like a plan?

 

Sounds like a plan but IMO the Outlander is a better designed quad. The main thing is that you get what YOU are comfortable with not what a bunch of guys on a forum tell you. My biggest priority is getting there and back with as few problems as possible, unfortunately I seem to have terrible luck with flat tires [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img](
