EADS

 

Supposed to be May, around $7000. www.hondamotorcycles.com. Look for press releases in Oct-Nov of 1999 under 2000 models.

 

you can go to www.angelfire.com/wv/crrr/page2.html he has a good site.

 

Excuse me, I'm an avid honda fan, maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that everyone is trying to copy Polaris. My dad has a 98 Sportsman 500 with full floorboards, pushbutton on demand 4 wheel, and a fully auto matic tranny. In the past years, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and now Honda all have Pushbutton 4, full floorboards, and auto tranny... but the sportsman will always be the king of the ride with the Independent Rear Suspension..

 

I'm not aware that honda or kawa has push button
4wd. I wish honda did.

 

they don't

 

So what if companies start changing stuff around and adding stuff like that to their ATVs. If I run a company such as Honda I would let another company such as Polaris add those options before me, and if they increased sales any at all then I'd start adding them to my ATV's. If they didn't increase sales, then screw it I wouldn't want it on my ATV.

 

I was at the local dealer today and noticed a crate marked TRX500FAE hidden behind the rest of the TRX450ES crates. is this the rubicon? he said he knew nothing of a "rubicon" so who knows

 

That is mine. Don't go back there and don't tell anyone else. My uncle "T", you may know him-Tony Soprano, is owed a favor .
What did you say to the dealer?

 

JRM, The FAE stands for Front Axle Engagement. It's a dealer installed option for the Rubicon that hasn't been announced yet.
