Thats an awesome looking utility quad. Easily outclasses anything available now in appearance.
I bet the Honda bean counters are pretty pi$$ed that the competition has stepped up and they have to make a comparable machine. WHO BENEFITS? US ATV RIDERS! A 650CC SPORT COULD BE JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

It looks like they stole the body style from Suzuki, and the headlight pod from Polaris. I heard it still has drum brakes up front, and is full time 4X4. Do these guys know its not the 80's anymore?

Looks nice. Is the front Diff going to lock? Will it have 2wd mode like the foreman?

Hate to say this, but this machine rules! IRS (Honda is smarter than Kawi), 650 thumper and GRET looks! I love it
