Title: Honda Big Red side by side
Post by: matt_aggie04 on December 14, 2009, 09:47:59 pm
Does anyone own one or know anyone that does?  I am just wondering how people like them, don't know anything about them and I never see them on I10, I45 or 59 on a hunters trailer so I am just curious.

I've thought about this also, Matt.  They've been out for a pretty good while now, but you just don't see them around.  With Honda's reputation for reliability you'd think they would be all over the place.

i'll get to try one out in March.. rolleyes  i'm sure you're not wanting to wait that long though.  a good friend of mine just pulled the trigger on one about a month ago.  he really hasn't used it yet and he lives in Pensylvania.  he said the tranny is pretty awesome which i wouldn't really expect anything less from a Honda.  they're ugly as sin but you can fit them in a standard size enclosed trailer if you unbolt the top part of the roof (which is the only reason he didn't buy a Polaris Ranger).

haha Mandi, you know me all too well....But honestly I am not going to buy one I just got to thinking about how few yuo see on the road with all the people on this board that have sidexsides you would think someone would own one???  If I sold mine I would buy a teryx.....at this point though I need a tractor before any other aquasitions are made  8)

I wish they made it with a straight bench seat instead of the bucket seats.

The bucket seats are the only reason I don't own one! I need seating for three without someone climbing in the back.

my dad has one, but i think they are more expensive than alot of others, that could be keeping so many of them from being sold.

he really likes his, he just puts around the farm though.

My Polaris Ranger 08 fits in a standard 6x14 enclosed trailer. It a little hard to climb out of but it fits.

Don't know anyone that owns one, but I don't think I would be happy with it. First off, its to big for the tight trails in our erea and second, it has the same engine as the Rincon. The Rincon is under powered for its size, so I would imagine the BigRed is even worse.  I know the gearing is lower in the BigRed which would make top end very slow. I would go with a Rhino.
