What better name could there be for Honda's first-ever Multi-purpose Utility Vehicle (MUV)? And since it's a Honda, you just know it's going to absolutely define the best in the class. Check out its specs: 675cc fuel-injected engine. Smooth-shifting Hondamatic transmission. Three selectable drive modes. Front and rear independent double-wishbone suspension. A tough dump bed and receiver-style hitch. The list goes on and the details are amazing — even cup holders! But then, that's exactly what you'd expect from the most rugged, most capable multi-purpose utility vehicle

I really think it's going to surprise people in the pits.  It is a geared down (only goes 38 with 3 drive modes), it has 4 wheel locking differentials, IRS, etc...  We'll have to see.

I wouldn't trade my RZR for it, but it looks like it will be the leader in it's class.

    Status: offline     		That has GOT to be the UGLIEST Side by Side I have ever seen!!! It's not even in the same class as the Rhino, Prowler, and Rzr. It's more like the Mule and Gator, as said above. It's more for work, hunting, and farming, IMO. Nothing against Honda, but they are behind the times yet again, just like always.

    I still think its ugly, even uglier than the Teryx.

    IMO, the Prowler, rhino, and even Razr look good but not the BR and the Kawi.

    Status: offline     		Supposedly, Honda has changed the looks of the Big Red since that photo was released. Im not sure who said it, and Im not sure if he/she was lieing or not, but lets hope that this is true. It does have All-wheel diff lock accordin to the Honda website.

    Id still pick another brand SxS over the Big Red most of the time. But, atleast the Big Red shows that Honda is trying new things. This is Hondas first SxS and Hondas first ATV/SxS with Diff Lock. Also, unless GWC is correct, this seems to be the 1st (to my knowledge) Honda ATV thats geared low from the factory.
