BIG RED 450,I cant really say that Honda has a problem with their drum style brakes.I have heard only a very few complaints about water and mud problems on the Honda's.I'll tell you for sure that Suzuki definatly has a bad water/mud problem when it comes to sealing up their drum brakes though.Im glad to hear everything is ok on your Honda's brakes.====BILL

Back to the Rubicon topic, who out there would buy one if it turns out to be the machine Honda says it's gonna be? And reliable and all. Me!

 

I know 2 people who are buying it. And 1 that might buy it.

 

I went in Friday to put down a deposit. The salesman I deal with asked me to please settle down. He really told me to wait until it gets a little closer to being released.

 

I agree that there isnt much difference other than sportness between full time 4wd and optional. its just nice to hammer it in 2wd on slick stuff and kick her sideways I dont need a sport quad, i got my XR's for that. the rear axle does 90% of the damage on the grass, but there is a little driveline bindage and that frount tire does tear it up a tad..but nothing to cry over.. I cant wate for spring!
