I have always thought the Rincon should have the Rubicon's versitile Hondamatic tranny, if this does happen Honda will not be able to build them fast enough to keep up with demand, I know I will be on the waiting list. I think front disk brake's will be added for sure and maybe a larger engine.

farmking, I am not arguing here, just asking....do you really think they won't be able to keep up with demand? I think most agree that they won't fix the engine braking, add disc brakes, up the cc's, add a front diff locker, AND add EFI. So here is my real question...IF they fix the engine braking by now using the rubicon's transmission do you think that alone will have the Rincon flying off the showroom floors for months to come??? Even if they do that, the price will probably go higher, and with ALL of the good things I hear about on the KQ, I personally can't see that one fix making this 4 yr old quad with no improvements (yet) overwhelming sell.....maybe I am wrong but I would think they need to do a minimum of 2 OR 3 things on the above list, not just the big ONE.

Who knows....I guess we will see. I know I am anxiously awaiting!

I don't think they would be able to keep it light enough. Honda has some strict rules with their weight. I wish they would do the same though. They already have to leave the front bumper off and make the racks smaller to save on weight
