Default 2007 Fourtrax Rincon 675 or Yamaha 660

What would be a good deal on the above model. Looking for a price check.

Sold my Polaris, trying to decide between a Grizzly or Honda.

Help me decide.

Honda's website sucks, I cant get real technical explanations on the machine.

Can you put Camoplast tracks on a Honda?

And does Honda not having a belt make it more reliable?

Only ever had a Polaris, need info.

Thanks.

If you went Yamaha, my choice would be the 700... Power steering, decent compromise between plush and sporty handling...

Anyway, what technical details did you want to know about on the Rincon? Basically it's a 4 valve liquid cooled EFI single, with 4 valves, screw type adjusters. The transmission is a 3 speed automatic with a torque converter, pretty much like an automotive automatic transmission. It can be run in automatic mode, or you can select what gear it's in via push buttons. The Rincon and its transmission have proven to be very reliable, and handling and ride over rough terrain is where the machine stands out. It's suspension and overall engineering is highly refined.

It's drawback is that on steep decents engine braking will only hold it down to around 10mph, in situations were a Foreman would hold about 2 with engine braking. Not a big deal, but you have to modulate the brakes on steep sections that are technical enough to require walking speed type pace.

Also, I'm thinking rumors about Honda releasing something new might actually be true, so it might be interesting to see what that is...
