PACKARD you are acting like a child creating problems in the honda forum as well as the kawasaki forum. time to grow up and be a man and quit trashing everyone with stupid questions. and bashing in other forums.

 

HI GUY'S;
Man you leave a post alone for a few hours and it all goes to hell! Thank-you SPECTA for the compliment...I and my fellow Kawi owners appreciate it. I do not bash quads or there owners,I do discuss the positives and negatives of various quads (Some have more than others). I love quads big and small , slow and fast...they all have their place. We should all be thankfull to have what we do (There are many others out there that would love to trade places with us).As for the childish antics of kids on this forum...Oh well they are kids, I was one once, and I have to tell you at some point, these kids will grow up and see the light, and realize what a fool they make of themselves sometimes. Anyway enough of the crap...lets get down to buisness. To start blasting away about how good or bad a quad performs without hardly anyone having rode it, is really pointless. At some point the REAL FACTS will emerge as more machines get out there, and we will all know how good or bad the (Rincon) will be. I have heard both ...that it is as fast as a Kawi P650, and also that it can't touch it. I have heard that it handles well and also that it's extremely tippy. Time will tell my friends... time will tell. I think the Rincon will sell well, as Honda has a huge following and their consumers are very brand loyal. The magazines will rave about it as they do with most new machines...let alone Honda's flagship quad ( For a magazine to do other wise, would be a big mistake for the mag $$$$$$$ ). Anyway I've ragged on too long...man do I get bored when my wife is at work...( I am home with the little one so I can't take out the BEAST and go for a BLAST!!!)

PS; It's an interesting phenomenom when a company aims at a new segment or market. People either love it or hate it.Take Bombardier quads for example...very unique machines throughout thier lineup...I like em...I also applaude Honda for the direction it's aiming at...That does not make the machine perfect, or for everyone...but make no mistake it will have it's fans.

you are cool, aren't you.
for the third time, LETS MOVE ON!

i think the rincon will sell great, all honda's do. the reason honda has soo many &quot;brand loyal fans&quot; is because they have no reason not to like honda, obviously they liked their honda's before, so why would they change brands? i have an XR 250 that i haven't done anything to (besides new tires) so why wouldn't i buy another honda product??

No, I am Chet

 

Well As a Honda lover to the core, I will be the first to tell you, that the Prarie was the closest I ever got to buying a non honda ATV, But The Rincon Prevailed on a number of areas, Including suspension and torque, But I will say, I wish The Rincon was a V twin. But the P650 is a great machine, and I feel great for anyone that owns one, If any new fourwheeler deserves to be bashed, its the SP700. LET THE BASHING BEGIN!

 

<< My 500i Arctic Cat, $7700 plus taxes. Cheap. >>



my brother paid $6999 for his 450 foreman. i can find an AC a lot cheaper than that. did you see the new AC500i, lime green, chrome wheels,ipt 589's........ahhhhhhhhh!!!! my brother was thinking of trading in his 450 on it. seeming as how they got the motor upgrades for '03. what do you think???

 

I would trade it in. The only thing is, is the lime green is only available in the automatic. I just don't like automatics.

 

thanks, well than i think it's outaa the question cause he wanted a 5 speed. but i bet you could get a manuel with green plastic. (money talks)

 

you could just buy the plastic and make a few modifications. I think the shifter on the left hand side is bigger on the automatics, not sure though.

 

autos just don't feel the same as a 5speed. for example if the p650 came in a 5speed it would pull that mauch harder. i ride my brothers 450 and on take off the gears just feel snappier than the belt, and when you just punch the throtle, right off idle there's no lag and my Kodiak is soppose to be one of the better autos, i'd hate to see a bad one!!
