Here is a quote from the Honda Tech Instructor at a "'02-'03 update seminar" today.

"There is only one Rincon 650 built by Honda thus far and it is still in the final stages of development before production this Spring."

"We[tech instructors] haven't even senn it yet!!"

Probally doesn't mean a hill of beans to most of you guys , but I thought I would pass it along anyway.

What's a Rincon? I've never heard of that model. Is it a quad?

Boy, with you guys seeing it and all the others who have left me PMs saying that they seen it, it's no wonder the tech guys haven't gotten a chance to study it over. LOL.

The one I saw at the Honda dealer show [if you want to call it that] in September wasn't even a running quad. It didn't even have a wireharness!!

3tv, Did you get to hear the one you saw running? Alot of customers have been asking about engine noise. Until we get to hear one run, we don't have a clue as to what to tell them except that they will have to wait.

It's weird how Honda has kept the Rincon so quiet. None of my friends have ever heard of it.
I often come into the Honda room to see if there is any amplifying information on the Rincon but nobody ever talks about it.
When Yamaha was coming out with the raptor and new grizzly people were all over it long before it ever came out and actually had deposits down for them even before there was a price out on it.
