Whats everyone think of thier rancher?

 

The Rancher is a sweet bike! Not to big, and not to small. I did a ride in the mountains today on the 2X4. There was a fair amount of snow (yes, we get snow in our mountains here in So. Calif.) and mud. There was only one hill I couldn't make, and that was because I deliberately picked a bad line to see what would happen. The 4X4 would have made it easily.

 

i've got a rancher ES 4x4. best bike around in its price range. nothing else even compares to it. i climbed a hill full of 8 inches of snow with my tires barley slipping. you can guess my friend with a 2x4 slipped all the way down and yes he was trying to go up. also we were climbing a hill full of 3 foot tall weeds (very slippery). he couldnt make it up so i had to pull him, and i was still on the hiil while i did this and still made it up. ranchers the best, it beats all the rest.

 

ok ive asked this b4 but how do you think it compares to the eiger?

from what i hear the rancher is better. but i cant say for sure, being that i never rode a eiger. i'll check the specs for each one, and fill you in on that.

 

sorry, i cant find the specs. but from what i know from riding the rancher its all you need the whole package and much more for a good price. also you can get a used one like 2 months old and it will cost you $1000 less, american that is. the rancher is everything you need. unless you plan to go threw 5 foot deep mud or tow 2000 lbs of god knows what. it can do everything else.

 

ok thanx. btw how does it do in 4x4 stuff ex mud,hill climbing hauling exct?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

its pretty darn good at all that but for mud. mabye its just the mud i was in

 

I FEEL THAT IF YOU NEED A BIGGER WHEELER THAN THE RANCHER I SURE DON'T KNOW WHY. HONDA FINALLY MADE ANOTHER GOOD MACHINE ,THE RINCON. BUT FOR NOW MY LOYALTY STAYS WITH MY RANCHER

 

they also came out with a 450 cc rancher AT.
