I will never understand the inability for people to admit that the newer Honda is underpowered poorly built crap.

I have 7 Hondas, one polaris, and one yamaha. I will not buy a new Honda atv until they fix their emissions issues, electrical connector issues, bearing issues, and power issues.

Y'all keep sucking down the koolaid, my yamaha has been awesome and reliable. Newpolaris is one of those things . Only new Honda is a trx90. And it's the only Honda a tv built in Japan with Japanese parts.

Not Taiwan like every other new honda.

Y'all may not want to hear it but there's a lot of truth in what Rando is saying. Honda is the Remington of the atv world just without the bankruptcy worries. Honda has sat back and lived on their history instead of improving. If you don't believe me look at the UTV market. Where does Honda stand with UTV's? Dead last in the big manufacturers. Honda was king of quality atv's for years but they've let others catch up and even let some pass them by. When you get out of the uses of just putting around on the lease or yard work Honda isn't the way to go anymore unfortunately and that's coming from a big Honda fan

For ATVs? Sure. But for smaller engines, mowers, generators, etc., Honda is one of the best. Maybe that's because Yamaha doesn't make some of those products, idk, but Honda does well on the small side of things.

2014 Honda rancher 420 and I pull heavy choppers made for a tractor with no trouble. Plenty of power for me for the price.

Only problem I’ve had is the sensor on the muffler goes out. Takes just a couple minutes to change and not very expensive.

Yep, I used to buy Honda everything, but their ATVs I’ve been lacking for about 8 years. Better products out there like Suzuki and others. I have over 24k miles out of my 750 Suzuki that works 5 days a week up steep rainforest mountains pulling a 4x8’ trailer full of stuff year round.

My ricefield Honda hunting season friends can’t even get a season or two out of them without something going wrong. Sucks, cause Honda makes some of the best products out there, but not ATV’s anymore.
