Honda ATVs: The Originals

When it needs to be done right, and done right on time, it's the originals that you can count on.

TRX 400EX TRX 450R EFI!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

[mikealley]

Yes, they are. Now it’s time to get innovative and make something us customers really want. Not a Rincon with a pig mask on it.

Originals as in haven't been mechanically updated since 2005?

[paulbane]

The TRX700xx was just a matter of bad timing. You guys had a full-on Raptor killer there. Bring it back with a 5-gallon fuel tank and it will decimate all. If you can bring back the 400ex, it will sell massively with those value-minded consumers that have to actively hunt them down and do work on them little by little to get them show room new again.

The Rincon, or the Rubicon 700 are good machines for higher speed trail riding. They aren’t as work oriented as the 420’s, and 520’s, which is why they have the higher gearing. As you notice they aren’t equipped with receiver hitches, because they weren’t designed for those specific applications. The Rubicon 700 looks better than the Rincon 680, so it’s got a nice updated design as far as aesthetics. Honda is just being Honda . . . Reliable. That machine will still be running when Can Ams, Polaris, Cforce, and even the grizzly are having problems. If you want heavy mudding tires go with the Foreman Rubicon 520. Honda won’t likely come out with a machine that a lot of people would like to see like a rubicon 720, or 820 anytime soon. There units still bring in good sales. The Rincon 680, and Rubicon 700 has its place.

When will you get a proper hitch receiver fitted strongly to the frame? The tow ball attachment to the rear axle is just weak, ours simply broke off the rear axle tube :-(

[NorthwoodsNomad]

Still trying to decide between the Foreman 520 foot shift or the Rubicon 520 DCT . I kinda like the robust solid axle and manual transmission on the Foreman, but the benefits of the IRS, and automatic transmission with low range on the Rubicon are quite appealing too . Idk 🤷‍♂️

[sargil]

Still have my 2002 Forman 450 and 2002 cr250r.

[LolliWANG]

You guys never fail to disappoint! Bring back the trx450r trx400x trx700xx and make a crf250r powered quad and call it the trx250r. Nobody wants this stuff over a race quad. The demand for high performance quads is very much still here. How is it that we've gone 11 years now without a trx450 in production and 19 years when they last had any significant changes done to them? Why is it that yamaha says that they sell every yfz they make yet you guys say demand isn't there? BS!

[JoshuaOverman]

All new rubicon 700? You sure about that? It’s 2003 technology. Just a rincon with rubicon front end.

[KHH]

A 2-up atv would be nice. They're big sellers for the other brands.

[ВоеводаБогов]

Только не надо этих электричек! Нам нужна старая школа! Нам нужны ДВС, и DCT! Нам нужна Хонда!

"Progress is good and all, but lets just put zero effort into making our machines better!"

[justinmochi]

For every original except for anyone who wants to go more than 40 mph or ride two up or pull something with a winch or have quality suspension that won't break your back after 20 miles of riding. For every original except all of those people, there's a honda for you.

[joshkirkland]

i want to buy a new cmon honda bring it back

[edwardclement]

Agree the original and reliable. Please add a locker and power steering to the 700 Rubicon.

[dieseltime]

With side by side prices so far out of reach give us back an affordable option. We want a new trx450r and 400

[munster]

New 700 Rubicon my ass! Its dressed up Rincon thats 15 years out of date! I love Honda but you guys are completely out of touch.
