So what is it I own a Foreman 450ES. Awesome wouldn't trade it for my 400EX. But would I trade both for a RUBICON? Please tell me all, I have owned enough quads to know that Honda definately is reliability so tell me about the Handling, mudding, and power of this Beast. I've been waiting 15 months now to even try one but my dealer doesn't even have one yet. Thanks for your replies. Also I'm not interested in anything else so please keep it to the Ruby. Appreciate any info you have.

99 Honda 400 EX WOW! Thats it, WOW!

 

ruby seems to be nice machine. The only downside is always in 4x4 mode and ground clearance under rear differential is low. Like any new machine try to find a dealer that has one and take it for a ride.

 

I just rode one saturday at my local dealer and I was impressed with it . As far as always being in fourwheel drive all the time it didn't seem to be a problem it handled great and turned on a dime ,power was great and the acceleration was suprising, all the levers, ***** and switches worked flawless. I went there hoping I would not like it so I wouldn't have to figure out how I was going to pay for it, but I did like it very much and I'm going to have to sell one or two of my other toy's to get one....ride one it will make you a believer out of you.

 

Yes, it's that good. I didn't think I would ever trade my 450ES either, but all it took was one ride on a Rubi. It's superior in so many ways... the power, the handling, the ride, etc...the list goes on. No regrets here at all.

 

I have loved my Rubicon. Check out my websites for info about it and pictures of it in the mud and deep water. I wouldnt trade it for anything on the market right now.

 

TEXMud,
Do you still have the factory Rubicon aluminum rims, and if so do you want to sell them?

 

I still have them and dont want to sell them. I will be remounting my tires on them and getting rid of the terrible ITPs.
