Default D1, D2, or ESP mode?

Just was wanted to know what most Honda fans use the most, D1, D2, or ESP mode? Or maybe I should ask what the best?

I test rode a rincon friday. It seemed to do best in esp. It tried to shift while I was doing a donut in one of the automatic settings.
Donuts on a IRS bike are scary. it tried to lean over like the springs are WAYYY to soft in the back.

oh buy the way your dealer may not like it if you do donuts on there front lawn. They got pissed at me. I told them to build a test track if they didn't like it.

Uh razor, I think he is refering to the Rubicon, not the Rincon.

Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher, Recon........to many R's!

I personally use D1 mostly for when I just driving on dirt roads and good trails and ESP for when I`m going over a rough patch and pulling people out of the mud.D2 is ment for low traction and is best for when driving over bare ice, thats if you don`t want to spin tires and do donuts.The choose between D1 and ESP just comes down to personaly preferce.

early on I used D1 for sporty riding, D2 to keep the revs low when I wanted to be quiet, ESP for steady speed or dragging logs

now it's 90% ESP.

D1 when I want to be sure I don't mess up by picking the wrong gear or missing the shift button going through technical stuff
