2007 HONDA FOUR WHEELER RINCON 680TA , AUTOMATIC WITH SELECT SHIFT, AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE .
TOTAL RUN TIME 148 HOURS , 1200 MILES, HAS A WINCH, OVER SIZE TIRES, FRONT @ REAR AXEL GUARDS
SKID PLATE, EVERYTHING LIKE NEW, $4600.00 AN THATS BELOW BOOK VALUE.

I use it for hauling wavrunners in the sand on the bch. I have a 07 rancher but was wondering about this buy...what do u think?

Sounds decent. The milage is good and the hours are at par. The Rincon is more a trail bike and has a 3spd tranny and not really designed to tow, but it wont have any trouble with waverunners.

I found it on craigslist local...want a foreman but I will go check this out.

I owned a 2006 500s Foreman before this Rincon, and for the riding I do I like the Rincon better. But the Foreman would be a better towing bike due to the 5spd tranny. You could alway do a BRGR to a Rinny if you really wanna tow, but its a fair bit of work.

If you haul much more i'd get a foreman

from what i hear, rincons are not great for towing or turning large tires(because of the gearing and the tranny). you could probably find the same year foreman for 750-1000 fewer dollars.

Pulled this with my Rincon ,lol. Not far mind you. Just down the road to my buddies house to hook to his truck. Not that its good for a Rinny to pull this much, but its possible.

Wholly... that rinny musta been squatting from that load... the trailer axle looks to be back far giving it a lot of tongue weight but im sure it pulled it fine.

gsxrjarrett · 11-03-2011, 08:07 AM

Oh yeah, the azz end of the ol Rinny was a little saggy. It made my axles actually sit perfectly horizontal

. What I was more impressed with is that the bike didnt have much trouble pulling the weight
