Also, a full locking diff for the fronts on formans and ranchers.
Maybe a "special edition" 450 rancher, like yamaha is doing with their kodiak or whatever.

250r with square tube frame and CVT, compete with the trailblazer [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
no, but 450ex (450r with e-start), or 650ex is there most likely choice

Big bore v-twin EFI with a stable IRS, low gear (Rubicon type trany)and a locker
And I would buy it today for 8+ But I'm dreaming so it looks like if Honda don't give me something big in 06 I will be buying an bombardier twin 800 efi My Hondas run very good no problems and always have BUT I'm tired of getting my A$$ kicked by the prairie,brute,sportsman,grizzly,and the king quad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honda fooled me in 05 with the Rubicon ya it was a lot better than it was but not even close to were it needs to be!!!!!!!!don't get me wrong an great machine gust more suited for my wife.

IMO I think they really need to do something completely different if Honda wants to really stand out again. Besides known for reliability, that is what has made Honda, being the first at new ideas.
Even if that "different" quad doesn't make them a ton of money from that unit, I believe it would make them money overall just for the sheer fact that something different will bring people into Honda showroom floors looking at what else they got.

CVT is junk on an ATV, thats why honda went out of their way to make something else. Give me a big bore with a 6 speed manual shift or a Rubicon style tranny and I'll be happy.

Just a XR650 motor in a 450 R frame with a plus 1 swing arm. The only modifacion needed to make great would be a forward kick start and reverse. It would bolw the craptor away along with those little yfz's and just about all other stock machines! Helz yeah.
