Any ATV Riders Here?

I was wondering if we have any ATV riders here? If so, what do you ride? and where do you like to ride?

Me I have a 2004 Honda 400 Rancher 4X4. I love to ride in Haliburton or Pembrooke Ontario.

How do you like the Grizzley 660? I heard they are great machines! Do you ever have any problems with your belt getting wet?

I love my Grizzly! I have owned it for about a year and driven thru all kinds of weather/conditions (heat, deep water, mud, ice, dust, lots of snow, -20 degrees etc) and never once had a problem yet (knock on wood). Never had a problem with the belt getting wet either. Problem is since the Army made me move to Maryland there aren't too many places to ride nearby. That's the only reason I'm thinking about getting a sled or a bike.

I think my next ATV will be the Honda Rincon 650.

Ive been riding atvs since 83.

My lastest one is a 2003 honda rincon 650 4x4. Had it about 2 years and getting close to 7000 miles on it.

Around here I can ride several hundred miles and never back track.

I've been riding for years in Alberta and British Columbia Canada. I currently have a 2002 Yamaha Wolverine, 93 Suzuki RMX250, and a Yamaha XT350 dual sport. I usually ride all summer in the mountains, and all winter in our bushlands and foothills. I'm hooked for life.

Love the ride, It has been super reliable considering it was an all new machine design. I had an o-ring replaced on the tranny when I first got it, and has had tierods and a rear wheel bearing put in.

It gets rode every day and on long trips every weekend.

I think after this year I will be replacing the rincon due to mileage. I am still holding out for honda to make somthing to compete with the 700-800s now.

I have so much junk on mine its pretty weighed down. I can get about 66mph out of it then it cuts out.



Can you tell we like hondas?

I have a 04 450 Foreman. Im also a Honda man Only thing I dont like about it is its a little hard to start in the cold, and the front shocks/springs are a little to soft. But these Foremans are rock solid. Basic simple proven design.

Pretty much stock right now, kinda been concentrating on the truck lately.
