Hello, I have an 04 foreman ES stock except for new 26inch mudlite radials. I have been thinking of getting a Rincon . I ride trails mostly, with some mud holes, kiskeg and the like. I try to go around the really big ones. How would the Rincon handle this type of riding with the larger tires? I am a female and ride like one, no mud ripping for me. My hubby wants me to get one or a Grizzly 700 like he has but I like Honda. Any one have friends that have a Rincon, do they like it? Thanks. Miranda

The Rincon is more of a trail bike. has great suspension. i know that are putting the power steering on the Hondas but i dont know on what bikes they will be on.

I ride with a couple that both have rinny's, they love 'em, the ride is excellent. lots of power for trails, only shortfalls are the lack of gearing to turn them in the thick stuff(sounds like thats not an issue for you) and the lack of front end protection which can easily be rectified with a Warn bumper.

go to the Grizz 700. Power sterring, IRS, Diff Lock, great belt system. You get more on the Grizzly 700 for much less money then a Honda Rincon.

Go for the Grizz! The Rincon doesn't really impress me.

the 700 grizz is much much better then the honda rincon. simple as that.
she asked what is the best machine, theres no way the rincon is the best out there.

forget hondas and yams.. get a dang 800 cam am or a 750 brute force.. have all the power you want..

If you are riding a 450 now, and really like Honda, then a Rincon will really fit your style of riding. Smooth, not too big, rated as a great trail machine. What is nice is to have such a tough decision in the first place. Do some research and good luck with your shopping. Let us know the final outcome.

ya so you can spend all your time watchin your buddies ride while yours is in the shop....QUOTE ("rubyandforeman":8doirr9s)

Honda's all the way.

I would never buy can-am or brute force, don't need all that power, my 450 goes where all those machines go, and it is never in the shop, over 4000 kms on it in 3 years of owning it, and never a problem. That is why my decision will be very tough if I even think about switching to a Rincon. I might wait a while and see if Honda comes up with IRS ,dual disc brakes and power steering all in a 500 foreman. I don't need anything bigger than that. And by the way polaris sucks too. I will concede that Yamaha is just as good as Honda, but Honda name I trust.

Screw Yamaha, Polaris, and every other belt driven machine out there. They all suck. Honda Rules!!!
