no thanks. haha.

they've had old technology for a while IMO. Honda makes great machines, but IMO if i buy an atv its going to be fuel injected, and if not, its going to be old, why buy a 2003 ie a newer model atv without fuel injection? so you pay a premo price for a 2003 honda.....which you can buy probablya 1995 model just as good. Then resale in 1015yrs, everyone will want fuel injection and you'll be selling a carb'd atv? just my $.02

The reason I was asking is I cannot afford to buy a new 1 and I think I can get this 1 for 2500.00$.

Does'nt sound like too bad of a deal!
I'd rather have a running Honda w/carb than a dead fuel injected XXXXXXX!

Here is a link to Kellys Blue Book of Motorcycle values. ATV's are listed.
Carb models have been around since Moby Dick was a minnow.I wouldn't hesitate getting a carb model.The wife has a 06 350 Rancher and it still has a carb. My 06 Rincon 680 is fuel injected.

Buy it its a great deal.Hondas run forever.I have 2 and I beat on them and they still run great.

Dude, I have an 03' rincon that has been abused severely....I just put the first set of brakes on it a couple months ago and changed the oil for the second time in 5 years....The oil looked new and I wouldn't take 5000 for it right now....If you can buy the bike for 2500 jump on it or let me in on the deal.....:D

Don't buy the hype about fuel-injection being "all that". A month ago, my carb'ed Ski-Doo SummitX 800 pulled a newer FI'ed Arctic Cathome. When FI dies, it really DIES.

Otherwise, my family owns Honda and Polaris ATVs - and the Hondas - though smaller, have consistently been the most trouble-free of the lot. Last longer, fewer dumb things going wrong, don't feel like you're driving a dump truck, and they'llrun all day on a tank of gas.

Can't go wrong with a Honda, even if it has been halfway taken care of before you get it.
I have an 04 Foreman and a 02 Recon for the wife, would not get rid of either one (the wife or the bikes [8D])
