MSRP on the new Rincon is 7599.I'll be paying no more than dealer invoice for mine because I sell Honda's and can get the discount.

Hello Honda! - how about a sneak peek or send around a demo on your road show. I've been waiting for almost a year - just want some information to convince me not to buy something else for another 6 months. Heck - with enough convincing, I'd put my money down if a dealer would give me a rubi to ride until mine came in.

 

How do you people even consider paying that much for the rincon? I think the price is nuts.

 

Thats why they're selling them in the US first!

 

Geeze!!If you want a 12,000 dollar mechine get a toyota truck.Lcking differential and its 4wd. and the best thing it is street legal.Oh yeah it can tow more, pull more, haul more, go faster, higher ground clearence,yahda,yahda,yahda,etc.

 

I already have a Toyota truck and they are great. I still want the Rincons. Must be a Baby Boomer thing.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

Have yall seen the Rincon video at Honda's site it looks pretty sweet.

 

Sure it's a little pricy but you can't take it with you so you might as well spend it now. I did talk to a couple of the dealersx that I sell oil to and the ones in my area are getting one in august and then 5 in september. Can't wait to get mine!

 

Brent - I accept and respect the argument that this quad is priced too high and that those of us that buy one at list just perpetuate Honda's premium pricing policy. The other side of the coin is that Honda has demonstrated a continuous history of solid engineering expertise including 2 new non-belt drive auto trannies in 3 yrs. We've always seemed to pay more for a honda, be it quad, bike, car, lawn-mower, etc. Is the reliability factor worth the extra? Well, that's up to each buyer. For me, I'm walking the fence as the price for the Rincon seems high, even for a honda. So I need more info, I need to hear what others have found out about it, and, I need to ride it before making a decision. I'm just frustrated that I can seem to get much more info, and a test ride is still way out of the question.

To be fair, my short list of other potentials are:
Quest 650 - good all around, nice seat for my big butt
Sportman 500HO - though I worry about reliability
Griz - love this bike! Hate the belt drive
Prairie 650 - reliability seems hit and miss
Yeah - sounds familiar to lots of folks.
Thank god for you folks that offer constructive information and first-had advice

I agree that Hondas are more reliable,BUT Kawasaki's are usualy faster & there is no way a single cylinder engine is going to be as fast as the big V-TWIN on the P650. It is having a few problems, but this thing is a blast to ride. Engine is so powerful, probably will run forever.
