These machines are a fan favorite. People who love Hondas love these four wheelers. This one here had a little bit of aftermarket supposedly with a 480 kit and definately with a hot cam. Aftermarket pipe, nerfs, skid plates etc. I don't have a lot to say about this in any direction or the other. These are a good all around four wheeler. Not the fastest, not the slowest. Not the best handling, not the worst handling. Not the best looking. Not the worst looking. If you want the one with the best all around combination, this is probably the machine for you.
One thing I don't like about a honda four wheeler is they all seem to have a bit of engine noise. Not sure what it is about them but they all seem like they need the valves adjusted or something.
There were two other things that were notable cons and those are the lack of reverse and the lack of electric start. Granted, you can now get them with electric start if you want it. Not sure if they make them with reverse or not.
Pros: Good power and handling.
Cons: Some have no reverse and are kick start. Engine can seem noisy.
