Need ATV Advice

[Antares]

I just retired my 1999 250 Recon and bought a… ::drumroll:: … 2024 250 Recon.

I’ve hauled more than one entire quartered bull elk on a Honda Recon. Hauled a whole mature buck muley on the back too, right by the sticker that states “ rack rated for a max 66lb” . They’re nice when you get stuck because they’re so light a guy can often muscle them out of a jam by himself.

Of course I’ve hauled a whole cow elk out guts and all on the back rack of a 420 Rancher.

Pretty much all of the newer machines ride so much better than the 80s 3 wheelers I grew up with that I worry almost none about ride quality. First and foremost I want it to start and go every time I jump on. That means I look no further than manual shift shaft driven Honda.

Honda atv's have always been dead nuts reliable. They might not be as fancy or ride as nice as some others but they are like a Tikka rifle. They just work.

The price doesn’t move much, you can probably get them to throw in a wench or some accessories at best. I have the rubicon and it has survived two teenage boys and all their friends.

If you are happily married and want to stay that way, do not let them throw in a wench. But a winch for sure!
