    Very Pleased with my little BIG Red at Work!

    I am very happy with my 200 Big Red where I work. The racks make hauling anything so much easier and the high/low gear ratio makes perfect speeds when you have little kids diving out (I work at a youth camp. GRRR Shoot 'em All ) And the other nice thing is going up a 60 degree hill or so I was clocked at 40 mph going full bore (and I weigh 230lb). I'd say thats fairly fast for a 200 up hill

    Honda did something right with this machine!

    Honda did a lot of things right with ALL their machines. Definitely engineered with utility, longevity, and performance in mind. Glad you are finding yours so useful.

    My workhorse is actually my quad. It's a beater, and I show no mercy when working with it. Was pulling shrubs and stumps while clearing land all day at a buddy's property on Sunday with it, and she never missed a beat.

    BUT...Let's see if I can say that 20 years from now. Time will tell.

    A 60 degree hill?
    I dont think you got you calculations right, haha, I dont think you could even walk up something that steep.

    Honda's are great though

    Here are some pics. So how much of an angle is it? And now looking at the pics I realize the wrong focus was used, but you get the idea.
