Honda is one of the biggest vehicle manufacturers in the world, making everything from cars to all terrain Vehicles (ATVs). Like their cars and motorcycles, their ATVs are reliable, high-quality vehicles that tend to quickly endear themselves to their owners, assuring that they will be buying another Honda when they buy another ATV. An ATV is a vehicle that rides on low-pressure tires, where the driver straddles the seat (motorcycle-style), and uses handlebars for steering. ATVs are not motorcycles, however—they have more wheels than a motorcycle.
Honda’s ATVs are made to take on some of the most difficult terrain in the world head on. If you are an adrenaline junkie, Honda has ATVs that will thrill you regardless of whether you’re an experienced pro or just starting out riding ATVs. Honda has a TRX that is just right for you. Honda’s ATVs are built on cutting edge technology such as electric starters, independent suspensions, and even a shaft drive.
Honda makes ATVs for utility purposes as well as for sports. Their Rancher line of ATVs have made life easier for farmers, fishermen, ranchers, hunters, and outdoors enthusiasts for decades now. The new 2009 models feature the same great engine but now these ATVs are equipped with Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) for a more comfortable ride and better traction. The all-new automatic five-speed transmission is what really sets it apart, though. Fully automatic and thus easy to use, it offers all the strength and efficiency of a conventional gearbox. It is the fastest shifting transmission you’ll ever use. That means you’ll have less shift shock and smoother power transfer.
Honda ATVs feature a strong, single cylinder engine with a crankshaft that sits front-to-back in the chassis. That gets rid of any unnecessary right-angle power train directional changes. The end result is that more power gets to the ground where it does the most good.
It is worth bearing in mind that ATVs are not street-legal in most of the US, Canada and Australia. ATVs are designed to handle all terrains. ATVs are made for one person, although two seat ATVs may be on the way. The extra wheels of the ATV give it more stability at low speed than a motorcycle. ATVs usually have 3 or 4 wheels but some have as many as 6.
Honda ATVs are simple, and you can do most of your own maintenance. If you prefer to have someone else maintain your ATV, that presents you with a bit of a dilemma, considering that they are not likely to be street legal where you live. You have a couple of choices. You can load it onto a trailer, and tow it to the repair shop, or you can do your own maintenance. If you are intimidated by the idea of rebuilding even the simplest engine, it is still worth learning to do most of your basic maintenance yourself. A well-maintained Honda ATV will give you years of satisfactory service.
