For
2 009, Honda has expanded their Rancher lineup to
8 available models with the return of the ever popular
automatic transmission Rancher AT, which also is
first ever Rancher model available with Independent
Rear Suspension (IRS), and Electric Power Steering
(EPS) is now available for the Honda Rancher
Every
year, when it came close to the time for Honda to
release their new models, Internet forums would
be a blaze with rumors that it would be the year
for the manufacturing giant to release a 600-700cc
machine. Now, in 2008, those rumors have finally
been laid to rest by the release of Honda’s
TRX 700XX.
After
owning the new 450cc machines, the 400EX seemed
the logical choice for us to build as an inexpensive
project quad for motocross and some trail riding.
With the proven reliability, recently added reverse
and updated styling, the 400EX was getting the call
to pull duty for us as a project was planned.
