honda SXS

Who out there, besides me, is dissapointed with Hondas new Big red SxS?

Me......

it looks like a pile of ----->

the front looks like a Pig's face......

Chris.....

Looks pretty bad stock, but put a 2" lift, wheel spacers, and 28" tires on it and it looks pretty decent. It will not be fast, but it will be durable. And that automatic transmission is pretty awesome in low gear. It, like the Rincon should have awesome and instant bottom end.

I've not seen one in person but it looks HUGE!! Too big for most trails I'm on.

that stuff on any sxs will make it LOOK better.... but if you 28's on that heavy tank with that small of an engine (comparatively to weight) it will do good to outrun my golf cart.....


with 2 sets of clubs and cooler in it also

I have a heavy bag and the cooler........ well lets just say it's full and I have to agree with rc.

I traded my rhino for one last week .................

















SIKE! that thing is FUGLY!!!!!!!

Rotten what kind of plastics do you have on that Rhino?

Honda Big Turd not Big Red

a honda dealer on my old way home from work has 2 1 bone stock one with some kind of rims and tires still looks like complete , will be good for work maybe and thats about it

My opinion, and consider I was a support rider for Honda at one time, It's a POS and I'm ashamed for the R&D Dept., they have more up their sleeve than that pig, believe me. Just wait, in 4 to 5 years from now, we current Rhino owners will feel we owned an 79 ATC90.

This SXS market has a long way to go before topping-out, but it will sooner or later.
