the honda rancher at will be the best midsize atv out there. this bike will beat the cowi 360 and the kodiak 450. why u ask? one reason the tranny i have been out with guys who owned both the cowi and the kodiak and these bike when u get them in the mud and water the belt starts to slip bottom line. i dont care that these two bike have a d lock. the way i look at it is what is the use of a d lock when your tranny gets wet and it starts slippin. also both of these bikes are pigs on gas absolute pigs. the old rancher is better than both these bikes but the new one will run them into the ground

 

Both the Kawasaki 360 and Kodiak 450 will out perform the Rancher in the mud , by the time you get them deep enough to slip the belt , the Honda is dead anyway.

 

Whoa!!! You've rode the Ranch rat to know how well that 400 does on gas mileage? Cool! How many miles per tank is it getting? I guess by your post that you've tried the 4x4 in technical situations too, does the front differential work well when you have limited tire purchase and one wheel in the air?

Please give us a detailed report of your riding experience on this new beast. Also what other quads did you ride it with and how did they compare?

 

No use argueing guys.Your dealing with a highly intelligent, well informed Caper there.
It enriches my life SOOOOOOO much just living near guys like this.

 

Hindarocks, how about doing us a favor. Stick your head up your a$$ and swallow. If you want to brag up a Honda, do it on the Honda forum. Us here on the Kawi side couldn't give a rats a$$ about your opinion anyway. What a dillhole. You musta been drinking screech to come up with such a lamea$$ topic.
