New Honda ATV Rancher 420, anyone have one?

[BlackBaldyMan]

I am going to bite the bullet and get one I think, we have 3 Honda Recon's we hammer working cattle so in my mind Honda's are proven. These new ranchers are fuel injected now and liquid cooled, so I was wondering if anyone is having problems with the new additions, I hate buying the first year of somthing new, thanks!

Got Honda 500 rancher myself and the owner of the dealership told me that the automatics were always more trouble then the manual shifts. Mine is a 2006 model and I wouldn't trade it for nothing.

Brute they have that in one model some honda-stat they call it, I was going to get the manual one for sure.

Thanks Garseer, the 250's are tough as nails was hoping the same for the bigger bikes.

I have a 2004 Honda Foreman 450ES and I have had no problems with it, but if had to do it all over I would have bought a Mule, Ranger, Rhino, Gator or something with a cargo bed on it for carrying tools, feed, etc.

My appalogies...

I had the Honda Rancher 400 AT and the Honda Rancher 420 mixed up. :shock:

The Honda Rancher 420 has recieved great reviews and looks to be a good bike in the traditional style and reliability.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention and not letting me ramble on like a fool...

Go to http://www.highlifter.com/forum/ and look under the Honda section. There are several posts about them on the first couple of pages. ;-)

There are about 8 or 10 Honda Rancher 350s in my family. IF you come to the ranch when every one is there it is like a Honda commercial.

After reading about the 420 I think I want one also.
