That RZR gets my blood flowing just watching and reading about it. What a great thing for families and grandkids.
Amen to that.. Just like the Can-Am Renegade and Now the RZR they will push the market more towards what i believe it should be [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I really want a Single Seat sub 48" wide 800cc 4x4 Single seat RUTV [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] yeah baby.. But I'll settle for the RZR for now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Please correct me if I am wrong nuke, but the two reasons I did not buy a Honda is their lack of IRS in anything but their largest and most expensive bike and because they were having problems with their transmission overheating and breaking down the oil. This caused very expensive tranny failures.

But don't get me wrong. I love the quality of Hondas and think they have the best looking utility ATVs. From the information that I got, their transmissions were not as reliable as the rest. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Honda has been behind in every aspect of the game since they released the 400ex. they seem to have just given up.. I am impressed with polaris and Can am and yamaha all showing they are investing in us.

Personally, will wait until year-end for Honda. Give me a real transmission, not a Polaris variable width pulley belt/clutch arrangement. Polaris makes the belt easy to replace as it is doomed for frequent failure! At least Yamaha doesn't use the belt for a clutch. Correct me if I am wrong on this.
Your concern is understanding, but I em pretty sure, if this will be a very weak point of the Razor
aftermarket will have solution for it. And about Honda, not so sure, if they will come up with
something so breathtaking, in my opinion they lost the edge in off road market long time ego. IMHO

Which struck me as curious because Polaris built a diesel ATV (which I tested) about 6 or 7 years ago. It didn't sell and they stopped making it. I'm wondering what Arctic Cat has planned for the diesel that they think will make it successful?

thats a very good question since i doubt there is much of a market for a diesle. the really only thing you gain is more torque and a slower speed wheeler.
