I just sold my 2001 450 es and now i have nothing, i was gonna buy the 2004 rincon, until i heard a rumor of the 2005 rincon being a v-twin 750, could be BS but you never now. Also why has honda sold all of their 2004's and arent making any more this year and releasing 2005 early this summer? They must be changing something on the rincon. So now i have to wait to hear whats going on before i purchase the 2004 rincon and 4 months later a better one would come out, id be pissed.

 

I like the sound of a twin in that machine.

For sure they will stick in a low range gear for the Rincon in 2005.

The reason they have stopped production on the Rincon is due to the factory that makes them being relocated.

 

Where did you hear this rumor? That would be awesome. I'm gonna buy a rincon as soon as I sell my 400ex. I love the rincon. A low range and 750 v-twin would shut all those prairie, grizz, and polaris owners up. The rincon already has the handling taken care of. With that motor the others wouldn't have a chance. Plus a v-twin would cut down the vibration big time. PLEASE HONDA, PLEASE, make the 750 v-twin!

 

I would be very surprised if Honda made that kind of a change. Look at the last few "upgrades" to existing Honda ATV's. Switchable 4-wd on the 450 Foreman and the plastic on the 350 Rancher. What else? Oh ya, brake lights and a few color changes. I think everything else is just about the same as it was when it was introduced.
