Well we see that rincon-newby loves his hondas,sorry to ruffle your feathers.I was just giving my opinion and never even put down thw honda,just stating what I personally didn't like. And honda is 3 wheel drive not 4 wheel,one front wheel in the air spinning and the other in the mud.And the newer rincon is probably better than the old 660,but if you want to brag about the newer version than the grizz700 is way better than the rincon680. I like alot of different bikes,I'm not a brand loyalist like yourself rincon-newby.The rincon is a nice bike,but in the bigbore atv section it is at the bottom of the list.

Its better, or has more gadgets?
Heres how I see it:
Mudding/Deep Snow: Yamaha
Peak Power: Yamaha
Transmission: Personal Preference. I've had both, and have decided I hate belts
Handling: Rincon by a long shot
Ride Comfort: Rincon
Steering fatigue: Rincon (must be compared to non EPS Grizzly)
Build Quality: Honda
The ability to absloutely fly down tight trails in the woods: Rincon
They are both good machines. The individual's needs decide which is best for them. Ten years ago, when I was hard core into mud and such, the Grizzly would have been the choice. Today, not so much.

I think its all personal preference,there are no "bad" atvs now days. Just some with more or better features,but people like rincon-newby are hardcore brand loyalist and can't admitt that their favorite brand is not the "best" ever made. So they turn it into mine is better than yours kinda thing and so I give a hard time. This is turining into a yamaha vs honda thing,and I don't think either brand's atvs are all better than the other brands. And CC,you were into suck??lol

I am not familiar enough with you BlueRapted to know how serious a player you are, but, you are totally wrong about me being a "hardcore brand loyalist". It is just that I love to refute a poster's negative rant on Hondas, and Rincons in particular, just because their claim is not the whole picture, or they just do not have the justified perspective to make the negative claim, eg. haven't ridden one in their life. Features do not give a picture of quality of a particular brand of atv, or a lack of one does not either. The add on of power steering to a quad to improve its steering short falls, does not mean that another brand that hasn't added one to their quad suffers from not having PS. As well, the adding of powerful a engine such as in case of the Thundercat, does not make an overall better handling trail package machine. We become too myoptic on the issues of features per se, and think that adding a feature improves the overall machine above its quality threshhold. If you read Greygrizz's comments from the start of this tread, you will see he showed some dissatisfaction with his machine's reliability, and was thinking of changing to something comparable mentioning the Rincon. It was than that the negative bantering began. Just in the area of design, there is a difference in the Grizzly and Rincon. The Grizzly is somewhere between being a mud machine and a trail machine. The Rincon is a sport oriented trail machine. The Grizzly GC is higher than the Rincon's giving it better mudding ability, but conversely, the Rincon's lower GC gives it better handling on the trails. Is the Grizzly better because of the added GC? If so than the Arctic Cat is even better than the Grizzly because of an even higher GC. It is than all due to a design charactoristic. The Arctic Cat is better in the mud but not as good on the trails. The Grizzly tries to cover both and does good on both. The Rincon is OK in the mud but does exception on trail riding. So, this all comes down to the definition of "best". BUT, this still does not cover the issue of quality between the brands.

I would venture to say, I have a little more experience with 2 an4 wheelers than you.Tell us about all the bikes you have owned?

I was not meaning to "Bash" on hondas,I was just joking when I said "step away from the dark side". And in that same post I explained in my opinion why I didn't like the rincon. The I got called out,with CC saying how good the rincon is from his experience and if I even had any experience with a rincon. I have had alot of experience with the 650 and only rode with a few 680s.And so I was stating my opinion about how I prefered the grizz more and why.Now it has gone into a grizz vs rincon thread.I did not start the bashing and I do not claim to know all, but it seems like when honda is brought up and its not a good story all the honda owners get mad.I'm happy with what I got and you are hppy with what you got,have fun and ride.

BlueRapted you hit the topic that Honda owners view as sachreligious and that is having a bad or different opinion of a Honda. I had three Honda's before I bought my 1987 Big Brear 350 4x4 and I got 14 yrs of service out of it with few rides of it going under water for about 5 seconds and never missing at all without any kinda snorkel kit on it.
I was the tow out wrecker for the rides we took with over 20 wheelers in one group on the mud and deep water crossings back in the day because I usually was the only rider of a 4x4. Then every one else started to buy the newer 4 wheel drives of all makes and my old big bear would stay with them in the rough stuff but it was slow on top end.
When Yamaha released the 660 Grizz it was time for a upgrade so I got one and have been pleased with it ever since the recall took care of the over heating problem it had in the beginning.Bought it 10-2001 even though it is a 2002 model and it still has the factory battery in it and have never had to charge it.
Silver limited Edition 2002 660 Grizzly.1987 Big Bear 350 4wd.Past Wheeliers Honda 250 sx,Honda 200m Honda 185s.
