2009 Honda Big Red

I had a Polaris Ranger XP. It seemed to run OK. But I soon realized that the unit was not quality. I sold it and bought a HOnda Big Red and now I have what I want. I bought a perfect 2009 for $7500. Read Full Review

Not very good at all

Ive driven alot of atv's, from '92 Yamaha Timberwolf's to Can-Am Outlanders to Kubota RTV's (sideXside)and everything in between. but never have i driven anything quite as pathetic as the 'Big Red'. i got the chance to put about 350km (so far) on one for work. ive hauled 800lbs of water, driven over... sand, mud, rock, hills, etc....ive driven it as recklessly as i could, ive tried to have fun in some way with it but its useless. about the only thing you can do with it is go from A to B slowly. and you wont be doing it in style or comfort either. the steering on it requires Arnold sized forearms. the brakes have a hard time stopping it under normal driving conditions. the transmission shifts really hard and never shifts when you need it to. the body construction is really sub-par. the box appears to be made of the same material as a Wal-Mart brand kiddie wagon. you cant drive it for more than 30min at a time due to the poor ergonomics. its heavy and therefore drives like a sail boat and gets itself stuck realy easy. the engine feels like a 400cc and gets the fuel economy of an 800cc. and to top it all off, i think the front end looks like a realy big tomato with an ugly face (in my oppinion).

all in all, this UTV is not worth the money i guess it has a great engine that could very well outlast the quad and one day become a generator but it still doesnt make the whole thing worth it. if you want a true work/haulin' machine then go for a Kubota RTV, if you want a pure sport machine then try a Polaris RZR and if you want a 'do it all' machine then maybe a Yamaha Rhino or a Can-Am Commander would suit your fancy.
