Maybe it's because I'm too tall and fat but I can't see myself ever owning any of these side by sides or 1 man go-carts. So hard to get in and out. Drove my buddy's Razor and just felt completely cramped. Also, for my use which is mostly tight trails bird hunting, by the time I get out to be able to shoot, the birds would be long gone. I guess for me I just like the regular Atv's......

I wonder if they will use the Ace to test this new engine? I am betting my 455cc will get replaced by this in the 400HO.

I keep hearing that the safety cops are pushing the idea of cages on motorcycles? If that happens, the Ace could be what the atv of the future looks like.

Cool concept, that's for sure. Immediately thought honda pilot when I saw it. I'm sure it's fun as hell even with that small motor. I doubt it's got any real torque but it's probably going to be marketed to the 16 and below crowd. I'd buy one for my son or daughter when they are old enough.
It will be fun when all the manufacturers follow in this foot step. I'd really like to see someone make one with a manual gear box, that would be sick

Well a RZR is very cramped compared to the traditional non sport sxs. I was reading a review on the ACE from utvunderground, they said it had more room in the cockpit than the rzr and the seat is adjustable to give you more leg room

Not much room to get under windfall (trees). Need room for the c/saw.

Can't see that happening. When I hit the truck on my bike, I was thrown clear. Would not want be thrown into a cage, bounce back then be run over by the truck too.

Someone brought up a great point on another forum about this, how do you shift your weight? Thing is asking to be rolled over. Probably why the honda pilot/odyssey were lower to the ground

It is a high powered 327cc DOHC. Has the same 32hp power as the old non H.O 500s and 455H.O has. Must have to rev much higher to make it though.

The old Oddesy were one step from sitting on the ground. You would need a chiropractor after a bumpy trail ride. It was like sitting in a bath tub with wheels.

I remember when the original Odyssey came out. Suspension was a cheap set of shocks on the front, air pressure in the rear tires.

I'd take an old Pilot with a beefed up suspension and bigger tires over the Ace in a heartbeat.
