with the price of fuel right now i dont see how anyone could buy a automatic bike. this past weekend i went on a ride with my foreman 500es with a few other friends that had a rancher 350, polaris 600, prarie360, rubicon, and a can-am 650. my bike and the rancher were the only ones that did not have to add fuel at the half way point. i dont understand why all of the larger bikes are going with auto transmissions. I know the acceleration is much better but you have to pay more for it when you buy it plus more just to ride it. plus more to repair it.

well i have owned hondas all my life but in 2002 decided to try a polaris 700 and i have to say i loved the power and the ride but hated the repairs. so when i decided to get another bike i knew it was gonna be a honda but was unsure about a shift bike or a auto but the more i thought about it made me think about how reliable the shift bike was and plus the price difference made me make up my mind to get the foreman over the rubicon. the rincon was not an option because i was never going to get another irs bike.
