I'm getting sick of waiting....... Not going to do it much longer. C'dale, here I come!

 

I'll just stick with my old 17 year old R. I couldn't care less what honda comes out with.

 

not all of us are lucky enough to have a 250r

 

Not every one can go out and buy a new quad every week, I will gladly wait for honda because I know my "old, under powered ,bad handling, badly suspended ,and everything else it has been called", 400ex will still be running like new, while I wait. And I can save up for the new one, instead of replacing broken parts on a different brand. Once you own a honda there is no alternatives, all the new quads are just bad honda copies with faster motors, In overall product and feel there is nothing like a honda, they are the most forgiving, and reliable brand around. I think honda will come out with something new in the next couple of years. And it will set a knew standard that all of the other machines will be measured by, just like the 250r and 400ex did. It will be worth the wait. I would love to see a new 2 stroke honda comeout, doubt it would happen though with all these enviro-idots around. This is just my opinion though, so all you honda haters can save your time in writing an equally bais reply to me, and go tighten your carb boots, replace tie-rods, a-arms, and axles, and tweek that suspension just one more time.

i totally agree. honda is the best around and when they do come out with a new quad it will kick. theres nothin like a honda. once you buy one its hard to go back.

 

Yes that is all true!

 

well i ride with a bunch of guys...and between us we got all of them coverd...and even the polaris guys agree that hondas are bullit proof..but they own what they do because it is what they want.i have what i do cuz ive seen them all and got what i wanted..thats what makes this country what it is. so buy what ya want and who cares as long as you have fun and ride safe hehehe [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

you guys crack me up...

If you truely want a new hi-po Honda, you better get your name on the Service Honda list, because that's all you're probably gonna get.

 

I agree with WyoDuner, there is at least one of these posts a week. I really dont see the point in waiting for Honda to come out with something, when just about everyone has a better quad out now. I own a Honda and I would have no problem going to another brand, reliability is just not a really good excuse anymore, since thats all they seem to have. Even Honda's break people, I do agree that they do have a little better reliability, but its not so much better that thats all you should base your decisions on. Look at the ES system, that had quite a few problems when it came out, and from what I hear it still does. The Rubicon tranny's have even had some problems, and besides the fact that they are more water tight, I dont see much advantage over a well done belt system, if a belt breaks, you buy a new one and put it on, if the Honda tranny breaks, you have to send it over to California or something like that and get a new one. As far as a new Honda hi-performance quad, if it comes out great, if it doesn't oh well, at the moment there are better quads out there (Z400, Raptor, Predator, Cannondale, and the list is getting longer).
