Wow, Bill, what a u turn you have made!! Given up on the Explorer have you? Somehow I just can't envision you on a drum braked bike..... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Well, I don't want to burst any bubbles in Canada and I hope I'm wrong, but I've been told by three different dealers that Canada won't see the Rincon till next spring. Let's face it, the big market is in the States and so is the dollar. Good quading.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I have #1&2 at our dealership in Utah. The first one is to be delivered in late July or early August. The second one in late August early September. I hope the wait is worth it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Hey again Bill,

We were told the same thing. Late July or early August.

 

LotusPosition,
Im just sick and tired of Polaris continued lack of reliability.I will take my chance on Honda's lack of a front locker and front drum brakes,neither should keep me from riding it.If the front drums leak,I'll be only the second Honda in for warrenty work,and you can bet that I'll get mine serviced FIRST!!!LOL LOL.

I worked on the Xplorer for six hrs last Sunday and turned most everything back to stock.It will be for SALE next wk end.No more belt drives or Polaris ATV for me!


Bill

 

Bill , I hope you have better luck with your "Rinkydink". [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] One thing I do know, we will get an honest evaluation from you, if the past is any indicator.

Mike

 

I have been told the number of Rincons each Honda dealer recieves is determined by how many Rubicons they sold the previous model year. So the Rincon being a 2003 it will depend on how many 2002 Rubicons sold.

Steadmans in Tooele, Utah, 25 miles west of Salt Lake, is the #1 Rubicon dealer west of the Mississippi. So if you want one they are the ones I would contact.

No need for a Rincon, have a Rubicon.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Been shopping around for prices on the Rincon, my local dealer in Wichits, Ks price is $7900.00 out the door. Called a dealer in Oklahoma his price $6899.00 out the door. What are some prices you guys are seeing??

 

The rincon is way to much money. $6900-$7900 is a ton of cash !!! I paid $7750 for my Arctic Cat 500i and thats in Canadian dollars !! Thats $5043 in American money. If I wanted to buy that Rincon in Canada it would cost me $10,600-$12,100 !!!!! INSANE.

 

If supply to dealers is based on previous sales of the Rubicon our local dealer could be in trouble. He had a load of 2001 rubicons last year that he couldn't sell. Around here the difference between a rubi and a HO was about $1500. The choice between those two seems to be a tough one for many people so with that kind of a price difference many choose the sportsman - I did.

So far it has been reliable.

I like the Rincon, but with no locking front diff and for the money they are likely to want I'll pass.
