Hi, a dude I know recently bought a 2006 Honda Rancher 4X4, and he referred me to the dealership he got it at. The dealership is currently having them at a deal, 3,099 dollars or so. Here's a link to it. It's a 329cc, but as I said, it's my first ATV. So, is it a good choice? The ATV's are brand new, just to clarify things. I think it's a great deal for a brand new Honda, since on the website they say it normally costs 5,099 bucks.

 

You have no experience at all?? It depends on how old you are too. Im only 15. ive had a quad since i was 5. It was round 90cc. My dad has a rancher and some of them are hard to turn but after a littler bit of use it gets better.

 

I just purchased a 2005 Rancher 4x4 and it's a great machine. Steering is not that hard, not near as hard as my 95 Kodiak was. I plan on installing a Warn 424 later so I can take it out of 4 wheel drive. That's a great price for a 2006 model.

 

I have rode quite a few ATVs... My Uncle has a Suzuki Eiger(it's about a 400, and I do great on it) that I drive a lot. I'm only 13, but I have plenty of experience riding. I have rode a few different kinds, I think most of them were Suzuki's though. The guy that referred me to the dealership said that he had owned a lot of different kinds of ATVs, and the Rancher he bought was the best one he's ever bought. I can't get a kid quad, because my dad said he was going to ride it too, so he said the 329 would be a good size for both of us. We don't plan on going hunting with it or anything, the main reason we want a utility ATV is because we live in an area where a lot of places require 4WD. In this area, riding a Sport Quad wouldn't get you anywhere.

 

which dealer is this that u can get them for 3k new, i will go buy one tommorow

 

Unless you want to drive all the way to southwest VA, you probably don't wanna know. Anyway, I'll take that as a "definetly get one".

 

I think your experienced enough for the rancher if you have rode racers before. Have fun on your Rancher when you get it!

 

I live in Va and will go buy a rancher 4by tomorrow as well. Are you sure it's a 4by and not a 2wd?

 

Yeah I'm sure its a 4x4... it says so on their website... What section of Virginia are you in?

 

I'd be interested in buying one at that price too, who's the dealer?
