My good friend walked outside of the house as instructed by his wife, to get his X mas present.
And there it was, a new 650 Rincon ( he's a Honda boy ) with a bow on it. His wife made the deal, had it delivered to a friends garage for storage. He then delivered it for X mas. How cool is that?

 

drlang.......
I just cringe when I hear that "H" word.........Just kidding, nice wifee.........Awesome gift...

well, not so cool if you consider the new 700 (675) is fuel injected, has discs all around, and improved transmission ratios. if he can live without those things then sure, it is pretty cool, as long as he doesn't mind 3WD either. guess it's the thought that counts.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

wow great negative spin, I think the local dealer is blowing those things out at 5999.
It is the the thought that counts being it's the machine they could afford and he likes.

 

If my wife bought me a Honda I would have to divorce her! LOL! No seriously thats a great woman to go out and buy her man an atv. Although he may still be making the payments but thats besides the point.

 

yup, they are unloading them out here for $5,899 out the door, which is a great price. I think it is perfectly fine to buy what you like as long as that is the reason and it's not because it says Honda on it. some people don't give other brands a chance because they are loyal to just one. I am loyal to no brand, I buy the one with the features that are important to me. I need traction most of all, which means I need power to ALL FOUR WHEELS AT THE SAME TIME, even if each front wheel encounters different friction levels. Honda doesn't offer that yet, I'm sure it is only a matter of time. I also need to be able to stop and Polaris engine braking and disc front brakes ensure that, the '06 Rincon at least has one out of two. it's all about what you want out of a machine and what you are willing to spend.

it's a nice story drlang and I hope your friend enjoys his ride. just hope it's not a ploy that is going to give the wife leverage to get those horses she has always wanted. then your buddy is gonna have to build a barn, (with your help, blood, sweat and tears too), and in the end, the only thing that Rincon will be doing is hauling horse poop. I know a guy with a similar story.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

A bud of mine bought an 05 rincon this week too, he got it for 5100 otd so I cant really blame him for buying it... But Id still rather have a polaris transmission... its weird riding a quad that shifts 3 gears like a car... but enough talk about honda, this is the polaris forum... lol Dude obviously has a cool wife to buy her man a quad.
