Im planning on buying here pretty soon. Trying to decide between a new foreman, foreman rubicon, or rincon.

What you got and why you got it? Is the rincon worth the extra cash?



Went and looked this morning, figured I might as well buy. I got a green Foreman for $5800. Happy with the purchase and appreciate the input.

I got a 4x4 rancher, and we have good roads/trails. It does everything I need except haul people comfortably. My next will be a side by side...

I have a 4x4 honda fourtrax 300 with regular sized tires on it and it's perfect for me. Not big or powerful or anything, but it's gotten be there and back every single time for 13 years so far without fail. Still on the original spark plug.

Have heard bad things about the rincon, but would probly be fine for hunting.

Old school Honda manual shift 4x4 400. I duck hunt in AR rice fields and need something I can pick up and move out of a hole if I have to. It will haul me and the biggest deer around out of the woods too.

I had a Big Bear and all my friends had Ranchers. Their bikes not only out performed mine but outlasted it. Next bike I bought was a Rancher in 06. Had it two years and sold it, bought it back from the guy Wed and happy to have it back

My father bought a brand new Honda Rancher around 2000. 300CC I believe.

Runs like a dream to this day.

We have gravel roads most everywhere, usually don't ever bring it deep into woods unless deer is a long way from one of the roads.

Most it was ever "ragged" out was me and my brother from ages 13-16. That was 10 years ago.

I have a foreman with oversized tires, rims, winch, and baskets on front and back. But a bayou 220 would work just as well since I only use it tongi pick up deer after I shoot them and our logging roads are in great shape.

Buy a used Japanese made one that is lightweight. A heavy 4 wheeler defeats the point and is just for show. I would rather have a lightweight 2wd than a 4x4 with a massive engine that sinks in the mud and needs 4 people to push it out of a bog.

If you are spending truck money on a 4 wheeler, I hope you are doing it because you are loaded and have nothing better to spend it on.
