The display is AWESOME!!!

It shows how fast u are going (MPH), what gear u are in, what time it is, how many miles are on it, how many hours are on it, and has a tripometer too!!

It was well worth the extra $200.

THe only thing i have noticed about the ATV compared to a 2wd Rancher is that the Turning Radius is better on 2wd, which is what i expected. My Turing radius is 10ft compared to a 2wd Rancher only being 8ft.

Im very happy with the Rancher!!!

Thank You Honda Again!!!!!!!!!

Shoot, if you're on dirt with the 2x4 you can swing it around and kick up a little dust. The 4x4 makes you do a 2 or 3 point turn. The only thing I don't like about the bike that makes me wish I went for the AT.

True, they got rid of the cool long-stroke 350, but the automatic is really nice and it's belt-less using a diff type of CVT system. And you can manual shift with it at preset ratios. Pretty cool I think. I'd rather go with the Rubicon though. Oh, not to mention the 4x4/2x4

Gah, Ranchers are my favorite quad out of all utes.  First quad I ever rode was a Rancher that belonged to my dads co-worker, yet 2 months later it was stolen  :'(.  I like the stance of them.

I plan on Snorkeling it, 26" Mud Bugs on ITP Rims, HMF Exhaust, UNI Air Filter, and maybe a HL lift kit.

It will be a BEAST!
