I've owned 3 different Honda Fourtrax/Ranchers throughout the years, and this one is probably the best one I've owned. Throttle response is snappy; as in, it will snap your head back if you're not paying attention. No fail starting, even in 5 degree weather. And a strong, yet comfortable suspension.
This machine has been an absolute monster this last winter. I had this quad pushing 2 FEET of snow and was able to keep my parking lot and alleys clear of snow all winter long.
Trail riding. With the IRS (Independent Rear Suspension), trailriding was a breeze. My friend with a Honda Rincon was getting stuck in places I didn't have any problems with. In fact, I'm still on stock tires and he has big mudding tires! The only thing I wish I would've got on this is the power steering. That does wear on you after a while, but outside of that, this is a flawless ATV from Honda once again. I will be back when my children are old enough to ride.
Upgrades/Accessories: WARN 2500lb winch with snow plow.
