Thinking of getting Rincon?

My bud with the 660 the 2nd time out broke a rear axle. That was a first that I have ever seen.

Well, tomorrow I am getting a demo bike from the Honda dealer here, I will see if I like it or not, even though it is stock.

I took the demo out yesterday, it ran pretty darn good. I was impressed with it.

It was bone stock, but it ran the everglades pretty good. I could see a little work needed for 27" tires, but i really liked they way it rode and handled.

The only problem was when I tried to put it in reverse, it would grind. If i shut the bike of and started in R. it was ok. What was the deal with that?

where 100% stopped when you put it in R?

^^ It doesn't have to be.

The linkage is probably out of adjustment, or you didn't pull it back fast enough. The linkage going out of adjustment is kind of a common thing to happen, not hard at all to fix. I've never personally had a problem with it though.

I was at a complete stop, and I tried to pull it back slow and fast.

Well I did it, I just left Honda. I traded in my POS 500 and got an 07 680. Cant wait to go riding.

Congrats, good decision.

It seems to be real nice, I am going to get a new set of 27's, but not outlaws. its got great power, and rides like a dream.
