If you mean without modifications, and by "best handling" you mean when riding fast, my guess would be the Kawasaki Prairie 650. With modifications maybe a Polaris 400 2-stroke (I forget the model name), and right behind, a Polaris 500 Scrambler if you can call it a Sport/Utility (much more Sport).

Why don't you take 4 or 5 different ones for a ride and give us your impressions?

The Wolverine 350 4x4 would get my vote if they put a bigger powerplant in it. It is way underpowered.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

if for pure sport, like tight trail riding and open running, i'd say the prarie 650. if in the mud, rough trails, jumping, then i say the grizzly 660. both great bikes, with alot to show for them.

P 650!

I think its funny, all the fan fare on the new Rincon and it basically sucks compared to the p650 and the Grizz, both of which have been out for some time. Honda is most definately on the way out, they cant make anything that competes lately, just stating facts.

I don't own one, have ridden one, but according to most all the magazines, at speed the Rincon is by far the best riding and handling sport/utility ATV made. Yes, others will out accellerate it in a straight line, or even go through deeper mud pits, or even pull heavier trailers. But if you read closely, they all pretty well agree that at speed, the Rincon rules.

Trail riding is what the Rincon was made for. That was Honda's target. And I do believe they hit their mark and the others need to catch up.

Back to your original question,

What is the lightest? Rincon and P650

Most powerful? P650

Best handling? Rincon
