Hi Guys;
Whats the big deal with belts? Ski-doos have used them for years. Belts are very durable...keep in mind any 600+cc ski-doo is running a TON more horsepower than any quad will have.
My friend just put the 3rd belt on Kawi 400 with 20000kms on it, thats like 12000 miles !! Thats not bad at all. I would hate to replace the car-like tranny on the Rincon in the field...let alone the price!!! The Rincon is a nice bike to look at...but Honda have got to lower the price!! No front- locker, a push-rod engine, and drum bkakes(correct me if i'm wrong) Honda are not going to beat the competition by looks and reliablity record alone. Some of the competition is very formidable with better features, and lower prices...the Rincon has it's work cut out for it. It will be very interesting to see how the Rincon will stack up against the Kawi650 or Yam Grizz660. I imagine the mags will have their professional, unbiased,truthfull , "not bought off opinion" to set us all straight!! HEE-HEE .

If you haven't noticed Honda has always been conservative in their towing weights and secondly, I think to many people are hung up on disc brakes,Your not doing 200 miles an hour down a back stretch. I've been on a number of machines with disc brakes and the dirt grinding between the pad and rotor gets annoying after a while. I'm also sure that if the brake isn't sealed from water it will work like crap till it dries off. Sometimes there's a reason for their madness.

Hi guy's;The Kawi650 has a SEALED rear brake that consists of a clutch-like pack of pads in an oil bath!! The technology is borrowed from heavy equipment such as a tractor. It will last forever and is not exposed to the elements. The recommended replacement time is 6000 miles or 10000kms!!! The brakes on this machine will stop on a dime!
