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.

I agree Gregsims, I don't think for a second that my Sportsman will beat anyones atv in all things that would be crazy, but there are a couple things Sportsmans excel at. Brand loyalty is a good thing. In the mud everyone wants me to go first, so if they get stuck I can back in and pull them out so we can continue down the trail. And also if I can't make it they won't try, unless it is rick on his 300 Praire two wheel drive, he will try anything. and more than not he makes it!

You must ride with the same guys I do. I always have to go first. Even when I make it, they judge whether or not they cross on how much effort it took my SP500. If I have to work at all, they go around. (Except sumthin4nuthin, he is a few sandwiches short of a picnic)

I went to Highlifter's forum and made the same challenge. I received a little lip but no takers. I did see that Hondavamp lives right here in Tyler (10miles from Lindale) He has a 450ES Nicely equipped. Not a Rubi but I did offer to run him with my stock tires. We will se if he replies.

I expected some diehard Honda owner to at least try. Or even a Grizz owner in the area. I personally think a properly equipped AC500 would be the best Competition but no Artic Cats have stepped up either.

Oh well, for now at least the SP500 will remain the King of the 4X4's. If you would like to raise hell about that comment, have at it. Talk is the easy part.

I haven't seen the Rubicon or anything in the Rancher series that was able to hang with the wolverine, much less the SP500.

ILL TAKE ANYONE ON IN THE MUD ON MY 400EX (426KIT) WITH MY PADDLE TIRES ON..LOUISIANA, THE STATE WHERE MUD IS MADE...

hehehe now thats a good one, hate to tell you this no ex is going where we go in WV I don't care what kind of kit you have on it...2 wheel drives are nice at what they do but not heavy mudding and when did they start making mud in Louisiana I always thought it was made WV...how you doing alaska do you think the Wolvering would hang with that Honda...some of the guys thought I was bulling about the 300's having a hard time hanging with my SP500 in the mud, it wasn't really the 3 wheel drive thing they were just getting hung on the frame if not for that I don't think they would have had so much trouble...
