I spent an hour on a 06 Rincon two weekends ago. We traded rides for a while, with the Honda owner on my 850XP and me on the Rincon. I've ridden one before, but not for maybe 4 years. The handling was spot on, ergos were what you expect from Honda. Power was a bit lacking, but I'm used to the 850, so just about anything short of an Outty 800 or T-cat would seem anemic after that. Even with the front end engaged, steering didn't suffer, as it does with so many 4X4's (Can-Am and Polaris are the best in this regard, AC is the worst by far) All in all, it was a great machine, and easy to wheel thru the twisty's, but capable on the rougher stuff too.
A very nice machine.

 

You call 39hp from a 680cc Powerful?

I think those hp numbers would be better represented if they were hp/lb.

 

Damn thats crazy. Here I thought mine may have been the highest around. To bad for me I will never know. Got cloths lined by a steel cable last year, hurt like hell. But it tore off the whole top section of my rincon. Now i have to start it with a rocker switch. If you seen this bike you'd **** your pants on how trashed it is, yet still runs and drives like it did brand new.
