Well I know that it has a exposed rear drive shaft, from the motor to the rear diff. I work at a Honda dealer and get a news letter from them every month. They mentioned that part about to look at the boot for tears.

Far as not having IRS, I say why not. They ride so much nicer. What's up with Honda going from a 250 right to a 420. Aren't there alot of people out there that just want a 300 or 350. I know that's what I would look for, for a around the yard ATV.

 

I went by the dealership today and was talking to the internet sales manager. He said it might be as late as Feb.- March before Honda starts shipping these new ranchers to dealerships.
