Why is everyone getting so worked up over this......it will be what it will be....thats it.
Honda is going to do now what it has always done.....build it different.....
Thats not a bad thing, nor a good thing....its just a thing.
BUT, what Honda has always done well is build an atv to be good in any one specific area. Not always the best, but always good.
Example, Honda advertizes the Rincon as a big bore trail atv. NOT a full bore utility or mudder. As it is, the Rincon has excellent ride and handling that most other big bores cannot match on the trail. It has dam near perfect ergonomics (like all Honda products....cars included. I am on my second honda car now) and just excels in these conditions.
Example 2 is the Foreman. It is advertized as a utility atv. Though it doesn't have a front locker, it is still one of the better atv's available for doing work. Not the best, not the worse, just good. And again, like all honda's, the ergonomics are near perfect.
Where I am going with this is that I suspect Honda will again build the new BigRed to excel in one area. Honda will advertize what area and personel they are catering too. It won't be the best, it won't the worse....but it will be good.
I think that alot of us enthusiasts, people that follow the industry, that research everything new in atv's, will probably be a little dissapointed in it. Knowing what else is available on the market, (machines with more power, higher GC, higher top speeds, better suspension) Honda might have a hard sell to us.
But we are a small portion of the atv market. Most people don't know what we know, nor care.....And most of these people will probably love seeing a Honda SxS and will buy it because of the Honda badge.
I am just happy to see another machine available on the market. It gives the market more choice. No matter what it is or how it is built, it gives us, the buyer, more options. We as riders and consumers benefit from it. I know I may have been a little biased towards certain atv's in past posts. But in my REAL reallity I am not. I love all atv's. I don't care how/who/why/where they have been built, just get something and ride. The more available, the better. I can't wait to see what the future holds in atv's and the industry.

, so yes with Polaris parts you will have $231 for the cage and $80 for the roller "KIT" plus while you have it apart you should change the armiture plate that is another $75 buck.
