Honda,s 680 Rincon has IRS and a the Rancher 420 can be had with either IRS or SRA.

Honda has always been a odd bird with Utility ATVs.
They never had selectable 2wd/4wd until 2003, they have the only OHC motors while everyone else uses OHC which make much more HP , and to this day they are the only ones who do not have a true 4wd system of some type and are the last to still use drum brakes.

Could be, it's like choosing between sleeping with a fat ugly wife who can cook and will never leave you or sleeping with a beautiful Vegas dance girl who will be gone in a week and not remember your name.

Your call.

TBH that 100+ year old technology is fairly reliable. But it's nothing to get excited about.
