I like the name they chose for the side by side. I like the new colors of the 450r too. But the big red dosent look nearly as sporty as the rhino. Looks more like a argo or something to me. And the trx700 is just ugly!!! These things keep getting gayer and gayer looking. The oldschool look is way better IMO.

It seems to me like everyone agrees that the 700 looks gay.

[ATCGENIUS]

The 700xx is gay and I was a little let down by the way the Big Red looked also. I wanted Honda to make a sporty sidexside like the rhino or artic cat. It has a great motor and some new ideas in place, but it will be over priced and behind now that Yamaha and Kawasaki have a year to top it. I added some new pics and stats on the news room, check it out!!

i like the 400ex though

[ATCGENIUS]

I agree, the 400ex is a sweet quad and will win some buyers just on looks alone.

Are they STILL using the same motor in the 400EX? Even after it continually gets spanked by the Z400?

I work at a Honda dealer, and learned about these around a week ago. I was floored not only at how bad the big red looks, but that they would use that POS motor and tranny from the Rincon. I mean these things are huge steaming piles ( although still better than the motor and tranny in the Rubicon ) I really thought they would wait to come up with a new combo before bringing out a SxS. Oh well.

Eric you are right on, Honda picked a aging powerplant and trans and then gave Yamaha a years warning to slap the grizzly 700efi and they are right back in the front again. Leave it to Honda to finally bring the sidexside to market and it is behind before it is even sold. As far as the motor question on the 400ex, it is the same motor it started with, no changes. It will still get spanked, but it looks better doing it.
