    The rancher is a strong machine. I have two brute forces a 750 and a 650. But the rancher and grizzly were on my list for sure.

    I know the rancher isn't the best one out there, but I know it's a reliable ATV. Plus it's a honda. Just that alone says it's quality.

    Yeah I like Hondas for sure. The 750 brute just fit what I was looking for in an ATV. And I got a deal I could not walk away from on the 650 for my wife.

    I see. I'm only looking to buy one for riding. Maybe some work, but mainly trail riding. So I don't need a huge atv for that. Engine size anyway. Now if I was looking for one for speed, a 750 would be nice.

    Yeah I use mine for trail riding and hunting. It just fit my style. I've ridden ranchers before and I like them. I just wanted a big bore.

    Depends on what you want though. I have a close friend that is an engineer for Honda and I like them but they keep them dialed down so much which is why they have the reliability that they have.

    Just because I said it isn't the best, doesn't mean it's not one of the best. I meant that model in general. Yes, it is one of the best, but it could be beat.. if I was rich. lol

    Honda could dial up the power just a few horses and I'd be happy :D I love my foreman and it does haul pretty well and it has already had a rough life in the past year.

    I guess I never asked and I didn't look at all the pages. Op what is your price range? Because I bought my 2013 left over for 3k off msrp. You can pretty much pick what every ATV you want at that point and all brands at this time can get a 2013 left over shipped from the maker. I did..... Just might help you haw some more wiggle room not to settle on one because of price, or get a better deal.

    I was honestly okay as long as it was below $7k. And update for everyone. I gave the dealer all my info and talked them down to $6597 out the door from $7800. I will be picking it up Saturday if all goes well. :woot: Get your popcorn ready :popcorn:
