New to ATVs
Looking at buying a new ATV within the next 6 to 12 months. I am looking into the Honda Rincon, Foreman, and foreman rubicon. I like the manual transmission, however i feel the automatic would be better suited for my use and guest users. I will be using this during hunting season and occasional light trail running. What would be my best choice in model? Also when does honda send out new year models giving me chance on a great deal on a 2011?
Thanks

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
the best ride out there, but you pay $$$ for it
I didnt like how the hondas felt, jmho, the automatic is very nice,
flame on
Some of those models have auto transmission as well as an electronic shift for a manual transmission type action.

The power steering on the Honda's is nothing to brag about. The only time that you will even know you have it is when riding over very rough terrain. It does nothing on smooth surfaces or at higher speeds.
The Kawasaki's come with cheap plastic A arm and engine "skid plates" that are useless and usually get ripped off within a month. 90% of people whom buy a Kawasaki goes ahead and buys a new aluminum engine plate out of fear that the oil drain plug will get ripped out on rocks. I have never saw nor heard of it happening. But I can see why people are concerned with it. Other than the oil drain plug issue. People here love their Brute Forces.

It is not like it use to be. You will not get a great deal on a 2011 until 2013 if you can find one that has been held over for two years. $500 off, Maybe but that will be about it.
Got the auto tranny because I mounted a 25 gallon spray tank to spray thistles with and it allows me to use the hand wand without stopping.
Just my honest experience.
Good luck, Don
Polaris side by sides ROCK!!! ATV's too [:0]
Yea they love fuel, but have you ever had that much fun on 4 wheels?....[:D]
I really like the auto, and the injected motor is a plus..

Nope.[:)]
The only thing I want is turning brakes [:p]
You mean a skid steer? The long wheel base does eat up some ground. I took a friends 4 seater out and its like a limosine.
