Size Comparison:
No specifications yet from
Honda, but it looks bigger than a Yamaha Rhino and a bit smaller than a
Polaris Ranger.
Engine Comparison:
675cc OHV liquid-cooled PGM-fuel-injected single-cylinder
engine. At least it is fuel injected, but 675cc? Come on Honda.
Our Thoughts:
What a disappointment! If this is the truly long awaited
Honda Side x Side all of us duners have been waiting for, we will just have
to spend our money elsewhere.
The Honda Big Red isn't easy on the eyes.
More of a utility based UTV than a sport UTV. Definitely
bigger than a Yamaha Rhino.
Big Red? Why on earth would Honda dig up a name from back in
the 1980's when they made ATCs?
