Hey friends. I have a neighbor kid with a Yamaha Warrior 350, and I of course have a new 2016 Honda Rancher 420 4×4 DCT EPS. He and his buddies invite me along to ride from time to time, and he loves to "challenge" me on the Rancher in different ways. So far I’ve bested him at every challenge (could be rider more than machine) but we’re just having a good time. We done a number of drag type races and I’ve noticed the two machines run pretty close, neck-and-neck. On general acceleration it seems they’re evenly matched, but the Warrior obviously has a higher top speed (six gears, sport quad gearing) so if the stretch is shorter I generally win the race, and if it’s longer he’ll pull ahead at the end. Here is a video of some racing from last night:
