Was wondering which one of you fellows will be getting the first Rubicon has anyone got a date when they will be picking theres up. I would like to hear a review on one besides an author who rides once a month and doesn't really put the bike through anything rough...I am dying to see how that new transmission does...

 

atving, another poster, not I, has selected his color already.

I believe he'll share his experience with us.

I hope so!

well i have to ask this what is the rubicon, there
is alot of poeple in this forum asking ? about it
i know for shur its not a sport machine our i would be asking ? just wondering

 

you got to be kidding??? you do not no what the honda rubicon is???!!!

 

No Rubicon for me. I am going to wait a couple a couple of years & let them work out the bugs if there are any! It will take that long for my wife to move up to my Rancher, then I WILL Have to get a new ride

 

From looking at the diagrams and trying to understand how this tranny works, I believe it is too complex for something that will be subjected to mud, water, dust etc. I think the current CVTs, especially those with EBS will continue to dominate. They have been successful in snowmobiles for more than 30 years.

 

We'll be getting a '01 Honda Rubicon in July. Dealer has all of the Rubicon's he's getting sold up through September. We just snuck in and got a July one. No Rubicon's on the showroom floor till the snow flies!

 

One of the local dealers says, he's supposed to get 3. Maybe in July, he thinks more than likely it will be in August or early September. If Honda was ready for the Roll-Out on May first, why the long delay to delivery?

 

My dealer is getting 2 in June. My order is in, I should get mine by the second week in July. (Olive)

 

I'll wait and see if they build a simular machine with a 5-speed, and less expensive of course.
