'06 Honda ATV Information

[Dave]

Honda has revealed information regarding a selection of its ATVs. While there are few technological changes on the ATV models released, seven models will be available with a new color option.

In short, the 499cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke Rubicon ($7,299) and Rubicon GPScape ($7,499) will be available in black as well as red, yellow and olive; the 397cc air-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke Rancher AT ($6,099) and Rancher AT GPScape ($6,299) will be available in black, red and olive; the 229cc air-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke Recon ($3,599) and Recon ES ($3,799) get a new blue color to join the red and olive schemes already available; and the 475cc four-stroke FourTrax Fourman ($6,399) will be available in yellow, joining the red and olive colors in the lineup.

Honda's two lesser-powered sport quads also receive a new color option. The 2006 TRX400EX ($5,899) and 300EX ($4,749) both will be available with black plastic in addition to traditional red. The 400 also gets reverse.

I think they need a little more than color options to make them better....

Maybe they redesigned their decal graphics? That should be enough. LOL

I think Honda needs to do more than just those changes they need to add more mechanical changes ( front locker ect) and find out why they stall on steep hills I am still haveing that problem with my 04 oh well I will live with it

The Honda decals have quite the reputation...good one...lol! My kids 05 Sportsman has awfully ugly decals..some kind of sprocket looking thing. We haven't figured it out yet. Won't really matter once the mud and dust cover them.

I think they stall on hills because that is considered rough terrain for Hondas...seriously, check the manual... ;-)

The stalling is carb related (my thoughts anyway). After my rejet and K&N filter and a bunch of tweaking it completely quit doing the stalling thing.
