Is Honda Rubicon 500 4x4 a good atv?

Question

Is it good for hunting and riding in the woods? Is it good for plowing snow. Does it break very easy?

Answer 1

Cant go wrong with a Honda. I like sport models myself, and don't know about the performance of the utility models, but Honda's are very reliable and would be my first choice on any ATV.

Answer 2

yes its good BUT it has some weak points you may want to consider.

#1 its full time 4 wheel drive, you can't switch it from 2 wheel to 4 wheel drive

#2 Its slower and less powerful than its comparison models

#3 it has less ground clearance than other makes its size

#4 the front ball joints, wheel bearings and axles are not as heavy duty as other models and they fail more often, and replacement parts for Honda are much higher priced.
