Thanks for sharing the video with us on your Honda Rubicon. You have tested this bike out for sure. Must be made tuff. Take care.

I have a ‘21 with way less miles, pretty much only gets used in the Fall for hunting. At this rate it will probably out live me.

I ride some of the oldest Hondas and they pretty much all have the original motors

I have an 012 foreman that has an UNBELIVEABLE 9000 miles on it, pulled trailers, stuck trucks been bogged the heck out of, moved trees but still runs better than my friends 17 450 outlander.

Wish Honda would come out with a 700 or 750 I’d buy today!! 👍🏻 Great review!!

Great video! I currently own a 2022 Honda Rubicon and 2023 Suzuki KingQuad. Previously owned a 2016 Rubicon and 2013 Foreman. I have ridden many other makes and models for the past 40 years. Nothing like a Rubicon… but I do love my new KingQuad 750 (more time will tell). I think I’ll always own a Honda Rubicon.

Any recommendations on a good and simple mile tracker I can put on my atv that doesn’t have a cluster? Just wanna be able to track miles. Thanks man

I rock Yamaha mainly because the availability in Alaska. Also, Yamaha has a great value at their price range, especially if you don’t need the extra bells and whistles. I’d like to get a Honda when I get back down to the lower 48

You mentioned that the power steering seemed weaker, did you check to see if you have a weak battery ? I have heard that this can cause the power steering to get weak if the battery is weak.

@JacobOverman

That’s something to check. It is the original battery. However it doesn’t have the feeling that it just doesn’t work. It won’t return straight when you let off. I let off the bars and it stays. Pulling right or left. Feels like it’s locking up almost.

@@JacobOverman I was curious about this particular part, and it’s nearly $1,000.00 from partzilla. I know a lot of people but aftermarket wheels and tires after they buy their machines, but a lot of people don’t seem to realize how much additional weight they are putting on each axle , and hub vs stock. The stock wheels, and tires on Honda Ranchers for example are like 23lbs give or take a pound. If you go up an inch or two in size with a heavier rubber compound 6 ply tire, you’re going to put more stress on the mechanical components of those machines. Over 1,000’s of miles some parts will wear prematurely as a result. I believe people would get better life out of their machines, and their components if they just stayed with stock, or at least watched how much extra weight they are putting on those hubs. Those aftermarket tires may be more than double the weight, and grip better so the power steering is going to have to work harder regularly. I’ve seen new Honda Ranchers break axles from guys throwing 28 inch mudding tires by repeatedly popping wheeliesYeah if you throw 60lb ag like tires on it, and constantly pop wheelies, when it hooks up it can snap the axle, and wheel just fall off. Honda Ranchers and the Foreman’s use the same straight rear axle. In soft mud they may be less likely to snap, but not on harder surfaces where it really digs in. Those heavier tires will also cause the differential to wear quicker to, again over several thousand miles. I’ve seen Honda Ranchers with over 50,000 miles on them but they used stock wheels and tires.

How do you still compare this to the grizzly? Which quad would you still consider for long term? I’m stuck between the two. What do you recommend and why? I ride similar terrain as you

@JacobOverman

Ай бұрын

It’s hard to say. It comes down to two things. Do you want a little extra power and top speed. Or do you want something that will last forever and won’t make you mad every other day because bolts are falling out of it. The grizzly is not built as good. The Honda top speed is around 48-50 and the grizzly is 62 mph. If you don’t need to go over 45 than I would get the Honda everyday of the week.

@JacobOverman

Floorboards on the grizzly are terrible, fender coverage is terrible, seat doesn’t have a latch. Just sits there in some rubber. CVT trans makes noise. However there are a few things I like better. Better power steering, more power, nice easy to read gauge cluster.

Honda are reliable because they don’t have enough power to break just like a 7.3 ps. Hondas are great but their a little to proud when it’s come to price to value of what you get. I got tired of buying a Honda then having to put bigger tires and headlights and all the other crap because they never come with the good stuff. They all have repair shops just like trucks.

Well Honda came out this week with a NEW 700 Rubicon basically it’s a rebadged Rincon it doesn’t even have power steering I think I’ll take a hard pass.

I’m getting the 3x power claim from the fact that the engine specs match the pioneer 700, not the old rincon. It seems to be a pioneer 700 drivetrain squeezed into the rubicon frame
