Honda Discussions about Honda ATVs.

OK! No one wants any of the SP500. How about I run stock against any modified HONDA in the Mud.

Thor,

I you would read mi signature, you will see my bike is snorkeled. I can handle water up to about 5 feet. After that it is hard to balance.

I am glad to see you have had the privilige of riding your bike in East Texas mud and are therefore an expert. I hope I never have to experience the extreme conditions that you northerners ride in. I have enough trouble in the little mud holes we have down here.

Greg

Rubione,

You have yet to point out what i said that was disrepectful. Also, how did I bash Honda?

Please respond. If you have a credible complaint for something I have said or done, I will be more than willing to apologize.

Greg

"what have I done disrespectful", well lets see maybe starting out calling all the Honda riders sissyboys. Either your very ignorant or your about as bright as my shoe! I would guess the later based on your gramatical skills. Why don't you go home, your nothing but an uneducated idiot starting pointless fights. Good day.

A few days ago I was riding with a few friends near the electric lines around here (very steep inclines) and I saw a SP roll like the dead weight it is down a hill.. Then, I took a try at the hill. Leaned forward a bit, and ate right up it. SP500 vs a 350Rancher up hills?
No problem.
Mud, I dont know. With some vamps I could do it!
I would watch that thing sink like a rock!

Rancheres,
I call my best friend sissyboy. Some people, at least down south, possess something called a sense of humor.

As far as you questioning my education, I have a BBA in Business with a Major in Marketing from Texas A&M University and graduated near the top of my class. (I am not an Aggie fan though, I am from Arkansas and will always remain a Razorback Fan) I reply to these forums for entertainment, and I don't always check my spelling. Since it bothers you, I will try to do better.

How old are you Rancheres? Where did you attend college? My guess is that you are a Lawyer due to your attention to grammatical correctness and lack of sense of humor.

Greg

I have seen many atv's roll you are going to blame that particular Sportsman rolling on Polaris come on? I saw a 450 Foreman roll over the other day. almost landed on top of the guy, I guess I better not blame the RIDER but the whole company.

Sink like a rock? Be serious. I easily out mudded a 450 foreman he had 27 inch Vamps, I had the crappy stockers. There was no comparison. You can argue allot of things Polaris vs Honda but mudding is not one of them.

That's cool that you call your buddy sissyboy, I guess the way I grew up I didn't start lipping off till I knew the person.

Glad to see you've got an education, not that it would change my opinion of you.

You know were all real happy that your thrilled to death with your sp500 but your claims are a joke. I know, I've got 1850 miles on mine and I can tell you straight up the thing is JUNK. Everything about it is 2nd rate, now after going back to Honda I doubt I will ever switch back. I agree with you regarding your sp's ability to mud, mine is completely stock and it will go through some nasty stuff. But I will also say the rancher can run with it 95% of the time, and it gives up power and clearance to the sp500. Now give me a modified honda, cat or whatever and you would get beat. I mean tires are a huge element to ones ability in the mud. Anyway I'm done wasting my time.

I don't know about quick but I'm telling you...lean over, stare at the headlights, get on the gas and the thing will climb a cliff like a goat. Now granted doesn't have the stance for a steep hill with big ruts. But if its straight up vertical, it'll climb it.
