Didn't there use to be a forum for these???? A friend is thinking of getting one, and I am surprised at how high the prices are for 20+ year old machines.

He admits that he isn't a garage rat and doesn't like to tinker and prefers something that isn't maintenence intensive. My advice was that anything that old is going to have its share of problems, just based on its age alone.....

Honda could sell a bunch of these, if they would reintroduce it with the XR650 engine and some advanced suspension! This could nicely fill the pure unadulterated sport niche in the "Rhino rage" market.

 

yeah prices are very high on them. they have some GOOD ones on ebay every now and then and they always go for $$$$$. Ironic because i remember that back in the day they sat forever on the dealership floor - it was like they couldnt give them away. i dont remember the price but they seemed really high back then.

saw a few on them at a riding spot and they were pretty quick and with that 400cc 2stroke and it being lighter i bet it will walk all over these rhinos...
