It's the Rincon motor with a gear reduction. Tops out at like 38mph or something. Looks ugly.

Well that says it all. Everyone knows the Rincon wasn't all that. And it is ugly.

I think it looks like the old Kawasaki Mules. More utility than play. Also reminds me of one of those Daihatsu mini trucks.

For sure, you would expect something better...  We got our Ranger a while back, heard of the Honda coming out with one, thought about it, looked into it, and said, na....  Love our Ranger, that thing Rocks....

Took it for a ride this week. I have to disagree. It's a great machine. When you pay 8000 for an atv. 11,200 is pretty reasonable..
