Anything Japanese for me is good in my eyes. Toyota or Honda for vehicles, and any jap brand dirt bike or chainsaw (Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha) or power tool (Makita)
I've always been a Honda fan, very well built reliable products. Not the top performers these days but still bring high resale value because everybody knows they get it done. Keep up the good work!
I love my 22 Honda Foreman 520 Camo I use it almost every day. Got 1,077 miles now. Hope they will up date the display and add new features for the new atvs. Can't beat honda for durability and longevity. Plus out of all the atvs, honda has the best look.
I have a 2003 450ES Foreman myself , made in Japan. I just purchased a 2022 Honda snow blower made in USA and not happy with it at all. I am looking to upgrade my Foreman but not looking at Honda anymore
Honda makes hands down the best quads, but still should be making sport quads. Its nice to see these being made here in the US unlike the dirt bikes that are made in china. I wonder if they break-in the motor with heat cycles before doing those tests
@@ROFLCOPTERS92 Don't get me wrong, I like Honda, back in the day nothing could touch my 86 Honda ATC 250R 3-Wheeler. However their currant line-up of ATV's , while Good and Reliable, are severely lacking in Power.
Just bought a 2023 Rancher a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Top speed is a little low but it’s a utility ATV and how fast can you go on the trail anyway? Hope to get many miles and fun years of riding out of it. It was neat to see how they are made
My next ATV will be a Honda! I want my American body on an American Made utility vehicle. Not Chinese. Of course I will be wearing my USA Made New Balance shoes as well. ;)
That's Timmonsville South Carolina, population 2,099 and 77.32% black. It's old plantation area. Cheap labor because there's no where else to work. It's hood.
If South Carolina, which is the state I live, sorry but wish i didn't live there,but that's a whole nother thing, is building all these Honda SXS, where are they going? cause I can't find them at the dealerships!
ran by Japan. you think Japan should run stuff in USA? the highest level of foolery . they will pull these job's and give %98 of the parts to a company that has %95 temp service worker's , the worst job's out there.
I’ve got a 2020 rubicon foot shift with a 53% gear reduction and 31 OG Outlaws I can go through any mudhole a CanAm XMR 1000 can go through, albeit a lot slower lol
I needed an atv for my business this year. Of course, the only brand I considered was Honda. I bought new because people were asking almost half the cost of a new one for their 20 year old Honda atvs. Hondas last.
I've always been under the impression when you get a brand new small engine product like a atv, or chainsaw that you want to be super easy for the first tank, why would they go all out on testing as soon as they start the machine if it would hurt it?
You can break in bike 2 ways like your said taking it easy the first couple tanks or just go balls to the walls from the start and ive heard it doesnt do abything just depends how wellnit was built
Break it in the way you are going to use it... With the new technologies in the types of metals used on all new engines the engine is broken in minutes after the first start up... There is no longer a reason to seat the piston rings
They should do a Honda 300 throwback I mean every piece bolts up from the old one on the new one the way everyone love those four-wheelers the four-by-four version you advertise that thing in the farming communities won't be able to keep them on the shows hunting communities to no better four wheeler then the original 300 it's like the big red of the four-wheeler world
After the final process they are than takin to Baltimore or Philadelphia and than resold without a title and for 1/4 the cost for some reason . Haven't figured it out yet 😂
Already in the first minute I can see that she is not holding the calipers correctly (they were not parallel to what was being measured). Would not happen in Japan. (Sorry to say)
I have a 2001 honda trx450 foreman I bought for 2500 last year it has only 350 hrs on it it sat up in a barn for 10 yrs all I had to to was replace the carburetor it runs like a top and plus I got a new four wheeler for a steel
Y’all do know the Honda 420 rancher 2022 makes something like 21 horsepower correct??? That’s really not a lot when you have bikes ranging anywhere between 80 to 105 stock for stock.
Don’t get me wrong you put a 40% gear reduction on them they will keep up just fine in the muck but for mud Hondas are gutless in my opinion stock anyways
whats the point of comparing it to a bike? You should compare it to another quad. Plus this quad isn't anthing high end. Same goes for bikes. Not all all bikes make 80 to 105 HP.
Does anyone know for absolute certain that the engines need to be operated a certain way during what is referred to as the break in period ? No where in the owners manual does it mention it, only the first scheduled maintenance, etc. Nothing is provided to the customer about a break in period to my knowledge, and watching the video seems to suggest that the engines are already broken in. . . . UPDATE on page 260 of 2025 HONDA Rancher FM1 it has a relatively short, but two paragraphs of what is advised as the Breaking Guide. Avoid Full throttle starts, rapid acceleration, prolonged idles for the first day of riding or the first 15 miles that’s it.
Can you show why the rubicon 500 finishes by loosing reverse and can no longer go in gear? Weird how three different owners that I know of had to sell there bike for parts because because no mechanic even from Honda can figure it out…
Glad they aren't man. Always try to buy made in USA. Honda is a foreign Co but build in US. At least be sure to drive American vehicles / profits stay in USA ..we do it best !
Honda's use to be the best but nowhere near the competition for reliability and strength for the past 15 years. Currently running 2 Suzukis, 2 CF motos, a Kawasaki and a Yamaha for the farm and forestry work. The latest Hondas were nothing but trouble and the dealer's would struggle to fix them. My personal favourite is the Yamaha grizzly.
Yea but then in 2017 you handed out a letter stating that you were leaving the sport quad market and race teams. How many others are doing the exact same thing your doing making utilities how much have they actually improved the last 10 years be honest. Its all in snowmobiles and sxs which for one you don't make a snowmobile and two your sxs are the most underpowered "shaft" driven ones on the market even ginger Billie made fun of you guys lmao
I work at Honda of South Carolina/ over 20 years now and this video is old as hell- like 7 or 8 years old- come on get some new videos don’t pass this off as new stuff
Greetings from Canada. I purchased a 2022 Rancher FM1 this June. I would like to thank everyone of you for making an exceptional product.

Amazing isn’t it?

The old hondas from the 80s were the best by far.
Built like tanks!

Two words that don't go together...Honda & Powerful. Gimme my Yamaha Grizzly 700 anyday.

You right they're built for work and not to break down. Tough as nails with a gear on gear transmission
Quality is unmatched
Agee on the Japanese made ones , the US models not so much
Just sold mine, it was the best machine I’ve ever had
I will be selling mine now after seeing the people who are making them. it's modern day slavery?
I'm amazed how fast they can make the ATV/ UTV line up.
Love Hondas they may not be as powerful but in reality you can only go so fast on the trails. Def won't leave you stranded that's for sure.

Would be fun to be the person at the end of the line that gets to ride it for the first time.

Best on Earth
My Honda mower hands down the best push mower I have ever owned.
had my walk behind push honda mower since 1997. Only issue I had was the ethanol gas ate the carb and the carb had to be replaced around 2014.
We have a honda at work that's probably over 20 years old, has a carb and starts first crank every time without choke.
Hats off to anyone that can work on an assembly line, I’d want to hang myself before the second shift.
