Default RINCON vs 700 SPORTMAN!!!!!

The rmk has a towing capacity right along with all the other big bores. Great rack capacity. But I dont see a winch on the factory website. nor any mention of one. It did say that it had a super low gear. Almost 700 #s with a msrp up there with a 700. Kinda makes you want a 700. For a hundred more bucks you get another 275# more towing capacity and higher rack weights, w/selectable 4wheel drive. and the hitch capacity is 5 times higher on the 700. I dont think the rmk is really marketable now that I look at it. Other than the cool locker and full time four wheel drive.

They quit making the Magnum 500s all together (RMK included) They quit making the RMK all together, from what I understand, and the standard Magnum 500 may be re-introduced when they sell out their backlog of leftover ones. I would imagine they will get the improvements the 330 has, including the 4wd locking mechanism at the differential instead of the hub (no wires to the strut to tear) and the new shifter mechanism which includes a 'park' feature (I wish ALL ATVs had that).

The Magnums weren't a hot seller, and with a price above the Sportsman HO, the RMK moved even slower.

They still make the magnum 500, it's in the professional series section, all yellow with black wheels, and it's made for work.

Its people like you who give Honda owners a bad rep. Back up what you say the "he said" second party fall guy scenario is played out. Try something new smart guy.

Get real guy....dont bash other brands that may or may not be as good as what you ride....really, it is what you like for the purposes of making your decision that really make your decisions anyway...

Dont bash Polaris just because you probably overpaid for your Honda. Honda is still riding on their name and not their performance so go away Hondabige....ride on [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

45honda-"Want do u think is better beeteen this 2 atv?"

in 77 posts and over 1400 people that read the topic, i haven't read any input from you 45HONDA.

so, what do you think bro?


i like 'em BOTH!

for my style of riding and utility needs, the Sportsman fit my needs perfectly. the only improvement i could ask for is a recoil back-up starter...........just in case!

see-ya,
