ATV Television Test - 2004 Honda Rubicon

[@Tristan102100]

i have a honda trx 70cc from the 80's and that thing will run a solid 36 hours on 1 gallon of gas! it is amazing! i am not bullshitting one bit either. if you know nhow to ride it,70 cc's can and will take you almost everywhere. the 2 main places i get stuck is in the sand dunes and i get high-centered on rocks,but that is what my 250 is for :D

[@theboarman]

im looking for a atv that can go on long trips without refueling, what would you recomend?

[@ATVTVCOM]

@Derek130b Not bad on gas but it has a rather small tank. Not bad in snow but would be better with dif lock. Depends on the size of the tires. I wouldn't go over 26". Plus, more more aggressive the tires the more the front limited slip differential slips.

[@junvaleriano7074]

the trans on these are the best, but low heavy work they get hot quick

[@parkerparkerm]

so is it like a random pick but when you read a color you dont like you throw it away and keep picking?

[@Tristan102100]

i have a bayou 250. if you dump the clutch in second gear, you can get that thing 0-40 in about 3 seconds. im sure if it had good tires even better!

[@sidhucer00789]

I have one of these and the engine needs to be replaced (cracked the block) just wondering if you could recommend a shop that sells either new or qualiry used motors??

[@parkerparkerm]

do you guys chose the color or just get a random color?

[@daltonmckinney5585]

i got a 04 rubicon 500 and 97 500 sportsman polaris and my polaris aint crap when its against my honda

[@ATVTVCOM]

@parkerparkerm A little of both actually.

[@ATVTVCOM]

How long? 100 miles? more? Less? Any of the smaller Japanese ATVs get great fuel economy. Even some of the larger machines get well over 100 miles to a tank.

[@Tristan102100]

i would erfer a solid axle anyway,an irs is just asking for more problems. and of you put any more than 50 pounds of toughweight on it the headlights are pointing straight up!

[@ATVTVCOM]

@Derek130b Some newer Hondas have IRS.

[@Tristan102100]

this would be my first replacement for my little bayou 250, but i want a gear drive transmission. belts are too expencive and a hydraulic transmission is too hard to maintain and a part can just randomly fail,leaving you stranded. i don't want water cooled or injected i want as simple as possible. gear drive,carborated air cooled atv that is extreamly reliable. my little bayou will last for a long time to come,but do you have any recommendations for a decent replacement?

[@graldiv5396]

Actualy i have one of these beatiful. :3

[@ATVTVCOM]

@Rensiej This one without hesitation!

[@motojakers]

just because it is more designed for a load and durability than comfort.

[@parkerparkerm]

you guys should have a video testing the 02 rubicon lol

[@Tristan102100]

i don;t know why anone would change tire size. honda paid a shitload of money to build that atv to match thoes tires. i don't care what you think is going to happen. bigger tires= loss of power,and probably lower fuel milege. it gains speed,but you put exess wear and tear on the whole machine. smaller tires=more torq and pulling power,but your speed drops like a rock and you get shit fuel milege. just get the stock tire size guys!

[@slapoutz]

@Derek130b way more durable. virtually impossible to break an axle.

[@ATVTVCOM]

@501video501 Unfortunately it's what pays for the videos.....

[@parkerparkerm]

hah nice but yea, that would be nice, not much different tha nthe other rubicons though, but i like mine... unkillable lol

[@ATVTVCOM]

@parkerparkerm You lost me!

[@ATVTVCOM]

@parkerparkerm Don't laugh - it might happen;-)
