I have always prefered Honda, they don't break.
Then Polaris took my attention because of there smooth ride and true 4X4.
Now Honda is coming out with the new king of the big boys. Anyone know anything about the new Rubicon. Honda's web site says they are due out in May. I hope they run faster than the other Foreman's. Being torched by a Sportsman is not my idea of fun.

 

The new Honda ForemanRubicon is 500cc and liquid cooled I know it will sell well I am going to buy my in May and I know it will be much better than the original Foreman

I hope its faster than the Foreman what isn't?

 

I love the sound of that new Honda transmission thats going in the Rubicon.Im buying a 2000 quad as soon as I sell my 99 Sportsman.I was thinking about the Rubicon except im not personally a fan of drum style brakes and non switchable 2wd-4wd.I wanted something lighter than the Sportsman [697lbs] so it will be a new 400cc Polaris Xplorer 2 stroke 4x4.[588 lbs]I will keep my eye on the Rubicon for about a yr or so to see what [if any] problems it will have.Maybe than I might be owning one.=====BILL

 

Bill, how do you know how the Rubicon's transmission sounds?

 

hey rooster havent you read any of the atv magizins then you would you know why it so good and also wouldn't you think a hondamatic would be
beter than a beltdrivin atv

 

Remeber.. honda has been useing this tranny since 1962.. so it is bullet proof

 

Rooster ,I dont know how the Rubicon tranny ''sounds''.Im refering to what I read about the new Hondamatic transmission.I like what I've read ect, so far.====BILL

 

Rubicon ... blah, blah, blah, and yadda, yadda, yadda. This machine is not even going to be sold until late June or early July. I'm already sick of hearing about it.

 

When you see a topic headlined with "Rubicon", just don't click on it, even if it is posted in the Polaris forum. You will have much less frustration and much more happiness in your life. :-)
