Time to get a new Rancher. Me and pops have split a bike over the years and now that I have graduated and have a job I would like to get my own. I want a rancher nothing more nothing less. I am pretty old school so i would like it to be manual and have a carb. Do they still make them with carbs or are they all fuel injected now?

Main question is what are you guys picking them up for? I don't want to spend over $5500. Is that doable for my price range?

Also, I will eventually add some 26" tires with some wheels. 26" is the biggest you can use on WMA correct?

Best places to look? Friendly in BR and Brookhaven Honda i know of. Any other places. Thanks for the hlep.

Keeping it under 5500 will be no problem. I don't think they have carbs at all anymore.

Just bought a 2013 rancher from them. They were $900 cheaper than the Honda shop in my area for the exact same bike.

$6205, but that was automatic with power steering and the independent rear suspension.

That was not taxes though, just bike.

Yikes thats more then I would like to spend. I'm guessing it would be a bit cheaper with a manual and no power steering? Straight axle is fine with me also.

Are you not interested in a used one that is less than two years old?

Just saw on La Sportsman a 2013 Rancher 420 with 42 hours on it (which is nothing). Asking $5k.

Brookhaven will beat any price in LA and they are a breeze to deal with. They offer many wheel and tire packages and have great prices on those as well.

I'll be calling the Honda shop in Natchez tomorrow. Is the IRS really worth it? Mine now is solid rear axle. Is it a must have?

rancher 420 is a good bike. I honestly would get a good used one for 3000-3500 myself.
