Im about to buy one of umm tomorrow ,,,,,Maybe...

[BuckBilly]

I say Rincon.

[Stoopidbot1]

I agree, it is a bit more but I think the Rincon will keep you happy longer.

[Sc0tt]

Rincon is the top dog. I will be nice to have the winch too.

[outlander560]

rincon for sure.. the rincon has 500 hours.. how many miles does it have? well if ur interested highlifter selling a 2003 honda rincon for 3900 bucks...if u dont mind paying for shipping http://www.highlifter.com/hl_quads/quad_of_the_month2.aspx

Obviously the Rincon has fewer miles and all, but it's more $ also. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with the Foreman either. If you don't have to have a Warn winch, you can put a superwinch, etc on for $80 for the winch and $30-$40 for the mounting kit.

On the other hand...... I see the Foreman is a ES - is the Rincon an AT? Also, the Rincon has IRS and the Forman has a solid rear axle. ...at least I think so. Just something to consider.

[outlander560]

he does have a point warn has great winches but all it is just a name their are plenty of good winches out the for 1/2 the price... and yea the foreman has a solid rear axle with 2 shocks

[darkstar]

Im lost , rear solid axle sounds good ... No ?

[powermaddd400ex]

oh yea its fine, but it wont be as smooth as a quad with IRS.

my dads foreman is a solid rear axle

[darkstar]

Oh got IRS deffinatly way way better , more solid nicer ride

Its the money and honestly the rincon is so Bling.

Id have to take the bling off asap

[powermaddd400ex]

either way you wont be dissapointed.

oh and heres something i found at one of the dealers we deal with, close out on 07's(i knos its a solid rear axle but its worth a look)

Honda 2007 FourTrax® Foreman™ 4x4 ES (TRX500FE) ATVs

[darkstar]

[powermaddd400ex]

here ya go

Southern Honda Powersports: Unbeatable.

git er done

[clarkgriswold]

IRS are much smoother on trails. Big plus for an older guy like me! Seriously, I've been told that there's a huge difference in the ride. It's like all things, if you don't know what your missing...you won't miss it. You might want to try one. Honda Rincon, etc.

[darkstar]

I got a 05 rincon trx 650 fa today with winch

front disc brakes to 83 hours.

Damn it got some power.

Im gonna ride my as* off this week end.

[darkstar]

[Stoopidbot1]

There is a lot of stuff that you should carry for those just in case times. There was a thread about that at one time, I will see if I can dig it up.

[Stoopidbot1]

I can't find it, I'll start another!

[darkstar]

Holy chit ive been riding it up hills around my place which is ina well known atv spot.

this thing has serious power i love it.

I love it.

I cant say im to thrilled about turning radius , but hey i got reverse.

A car came past my drive and yah yah i know no going on the road but i live in suck creek canyon.

I pulled out and caught up with it between my two driveways haha.

What is its top average speed anyhow?

So man i can see why two wheel drive is so cool to.

In four wheel drive im losing most of the snap the back end around really fast capabilities.

I love this thing ... did i say that befor?

Its been so long since ive riden anything.

Oh man thanx for all the advice and thanx for talking me into the rincon.

Its gonna be perfect for my work and my wife and i having fun .

Im trying to talk her into a camping riding trip starting tomorrow.,

One thing im gonna get in this cold weather is face mask , asap.

Dont use green slime its just a waste of money..in my opinion... fix a flat is good but the problem with that is once u use it u can inflate the tire anymore... u should be fine u can just can some patches at ur auto part store and those should be good.. but the tires on the rincon are 6ply so getting a whole in it would be "kinda" hard to do.. include and extra spark plug and the origional tools that r on the atv should be good enough... def bring a small gas tank just in gase...and a tow rope is another good thing

[outlander560]

o and congrats on the new atv

[clarkgriswold]

My son-in-law and me will be doing Prentice Cooper tomorrow about 11am if you're interested. Give me a yell.

[darkstar]

Yeah i just got back from printice cooper.

Wow its huge.

So for sure i want to go back tomorrow on sunday dec 7th.

It was pretty cold today but i had fun.

gimme a shout at [email protected]

I live about 2 miles from the entrance, so we could hook up easy.

[clarkgriswold]

Just reading your post. We were up at Prentice Cooper form about noon to 4pm today. Were you alone and what color ATV? We may have passed on the trails. I won't be going back on Sunday but I'm sure I will in a short time. You're right...cold today up there!

[Stoopidbot1]

You guys are lucky, all my trails have about 40" of snow on them. Sport quads don't do well in that deep of stuff.

[darkstar]

Went back today and found alot of new trails.

My gas metre has not moved lower in 6 hours of riding.

Obviously ive been looking in the tank.

Today i was about to load up and leave and the atv just cut off.

I trieds to crank it for a fe seconds , then turned to reserve and she cranked Imm.

Like one half a second.

There is about 2 inches at most in tank more like 1.5

So yall recone the meters is gone.

Always somthing huh ?
