Motorcyclist all my life, ATV guy since 2002 when I bought my Rancher ES new. She has right around 8800 miles on the clock now. Gets used daily on my place here. It is the MOST reliable machine I have ever owned.
It’s taken me some pretty amazing places over the years..
Spent lots of time in North Central Idaho.. Pilot Knob here;
Done the Elk City Wagon road several times;
She goes sideways quite well, and has spent a lot of time close to redline… it gets used.
It’s taken me places that most folks wouldn’t think a 2wd machine would go..
She’s spent some time in the water..
and it’s share of fun in the snow..
Took some epic trips. Like the run up into the Buffalo Hump Wilderness area. Roughly a 90 mile day.
She’ll still do about 53 mph indicated… pinned. And she’s done that for long, long stretches of time on occasion.
I change the oil/filter probably more often than is needed, but it just goes to show ya, a decently maintained Honda will go a long, long ways.
