Got to be--don't you think Rooster?

 

It has to be the Rubicon you're hearing about, but think about it, why not build a sport 4x4?

Rooster, are you sure the 650ex you heard about was NOT a 4x4? Seems like that would make more sense, given Honda's history. Bump up the displacement to overcome the added weight of four wheel drive, keep the suspension similar to the 400ex, etc. They did that when they came out with their FIRST 4x4, the Foreman 350, when all they had was a 250 2wd (four-wheel successor to the Big Red).

I really hope this is the case, as it is the only market segment Honda doesn't have covered with it's current lineup, with the addition of the Rubicon.

I don't know, it would be pretty hard to miss the Rubicon with all the articles in the magazines and on the internet about it, especially in these forums.

 

Oh yeah, forgot about 6x6, but max6x6 doesn't frequent this forum, does he? hehehe

 

Look at the original poster's date, it was July. Someone just ressurected this from the archives.

TxDoc2, where did you hear the price of the Rubicon is $6900?

 

Honda in Torrance, CA sent me a letter in October saying that was a ballpark figure at the time. Theyalso said that could change as could the name or any of the componets of the bike.

 

WHY WOULD U WANT A 400EX 4X4? THAT WOULD BE ABOUT POINTLESS.
