RANCHER IS THE BEST atv ON THE MARKET,MY 2001 HONDA RANCHER ES IS GREAT.IT IS VERY STRONG AND IT IS THE FASTEST OUT OF ALL MY FRIENDS.I HAVE A RIDING GANG IN MISSISSIPPI AND WE GIT ABOUT 8-10 ATV'S OUT THERE,MOST ARE GIRLS,BUT GUESS I WILL HAVE TO GET USED TO IT.THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL SMOKE ME IS THE KODIAK Y2K

2001 HONDA RANCHER ES TRX350TE
ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD AND ALREADY
HAVE 1450 MILES ON IT

 

QUESTION,, DOES THE RANCHER ES 4X4 HAS A LAG LIKE ALL POLARIS ON THE CONCERTRIC SYSTEM DO? JUST WONDERING. THANKS

 

NO!!!!! there is NO lag time whatsoever between hitting the throttle and spining wheels on the rancher!!!!

the polaris' have a log because the motor has to get to a certain RPM before the clutch engages the belt. The rancher being a 5 speed manual shift doesn't have this lag.

 

The rancher is, in a sense, perfect.. You have made a great decision on picking a rancher. I bought mine last July and I have had no problems what so ever. The torque and speed this thing pushes out is incredible for a 350class. I just suggest you buy the ES.. (and the 4x4 but I dont know what you will be using this for) you get a great computer with a speedo/odo/hour/clock/gear display. Also some sweet floorboards and its so much better then foot.. You can slam powershifts with no worry (I dont think I have ever let off the throttle to shift lol) well I hope you like your atv, actually I know you will.

Peace

 

Well, we got the 01 Rancher last Friday and we tried it out over the weekend. It has been raining alot and it was a great dust free couple of days of riding. The Rancher is a great Quad. I think my son will have alot of good times on this machine. Got a great deal also.....$3,950.....out the door. Still won't hang with the Wolverine!!
The dealer was right about one thing tho, that is the sharpest turning Atv I have ever ridden.
