Default Bombardier vs. Honda

I am looking at purchasing either a Bombardier Quest Max 650 or a Honda Rincon 650. Does anyone have any thoughts on which one is a better machine or is their something better out there that I should look at?

Any assistance would greatly be appreicated! Thanks!

Best Regards,

Cosmo

I'd choose the Rincon, it is lighter and rates much better than the quest 650 in magazines. I've seen them at quad rallies, most of them are always stuck for some reason (maybe weight, low ground clearance, length, etc.). The Rincon is an all around good machine and has the best independant suspenion on any ATV available IMO. Try each one, which ever one feels better to you is what counts.

I own a outlander 400 and ride with a friend who has a rincon. I paid $4999 for my outlander that goes 60-65 mph, has tons of ground clearence, is awsome in the mud, and rides like a dream. My buddy with the rincon paid $7800 has a much harder time in the mud, rides much stiffer, overheats, and cannot but should be able to beat a 400 in a race.

Go with a Honda if you want a durable machine to work with. If you want a durable machine to trail ride that can go fast and can handle anything that the bigger Honda can handle and then some go with the outlander. Artic cat also make a great utility machine for a reasonable price.

I have an outlander as well. It is an awesome machine. Mine will d0 55 mph max. My brother has 2 outlanders. They will do 55 max. If you have the extra money, I would get the Rincon. I am buying one soon because I feel it is the best all around atv. The suspension is by far the best of the big bore atvs. The tranny is beltless and is second only to the rubicon tranny. The rincon doesnt have the most power of the big boys, but i think if you want power/speed, get a sport atv. I dont believe that an outlander will beat a rincon side by side. As for the quest, I havent heard much abot them other than they are heavy and better for work. Dollar for dollar, I think the outlander is the best atv on the market.

I've never seen where Bombs have a big problem starting. The biggest problem I've seen was in the starter button and those go in just about every machine I've owned at some point.

I'd say it depends on what you want. I think the Bomb would make for a better work machine. For comfortable trail riding I'd have to go with Honda tho. My favorite 4 by was the Kawi 700 but then I'm a sport guy...
