I bought a foreman 5004x4 es about 6 months ago over a bf because I was worried about the reliability and gas useage but now I'm regretting that cause I took a safety course and a guy had a 650 and damn it was badass he started it and it was like a motorcycle. I'm almost thinking of getting one and I need you guys to talk me out of it plus there's hardly anywhere to ride around here.

 

Ride the Honda for a while, get your monies worth before upgrading. By waiting another year or two, you might be able to get a Brute with efi[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Look in my Gallery at the picture of the Belt Drive and you will remember why you bought a Honda! Every time I catch myself thinking I might like to have something besides my Rincon, I take a look at this Grizzley belt drive.

 

Every time I need low gear, power, speed, I am glad I didn't buy a Rincon [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

If you had bought the Rincon, you would realize that 1st gear is just fine. I have no trouble turning my 27s.

 

When I need power and speed, I dig out the Raptor...

 

haha, I think honda and kawasaki are both great brands and personally the only two i would care to own. As long as you take care of your belt its fine. I never have a problem with mine and i ride mine real hard. So i Say go with what ever atv you want. Your life, do what you want. Just have to worry about different things with different atvs.

 

I agree, i had a honda fourtrax, and now an Arctic Cat 650V2, no belt trouble here. Dont let stories keep you from a belt drive, and dont let a bad experience keep you from honda. Either machine will be a good one

 

01 rancher ES was excellent for over 3 years, 04 Prairie started to fall apart at 8 months.

Will never buy another kawi ute, but until honda comes out with something worthwhile I'm in no hurry to ride red again.

 

are those paddle tires on your rincon?????????????????//
