Looks like someone beat the crap out of that thing with an ugly stick..... Honda will be the laughing stock in the SxS market if they think for one second this would be something us Americans would even consider buying Rolling Eyes

They must think that because it's a Honda people will buy it. What a joke...

The Honda is eye candy compared to the SUNL 650cc SXS

Actually I think that the SunL LOOKS decent, of course it looks almost exactly like the Rhino. Of course being a SunL it's probably a POS. And do you really want to buy from a dealer who can't even mount the front tires properly.

ugh... I just threw up in my mouth looking at both!! lol


I jus thtink that the SXS are a very small target market. These things are really only for UTILITY...not the total offroad capability. These are farm machines that you see haulin hay or dirt... Not screamin at 55 through the woods! At the same time, how many farms need this thing, when they can get a used chevy s-10 $X$ for cheaper, and tow/haul more?

Oh well... Hopefully honda wakes up and comes back with a real machine!

I would say the utility SxS market is pretty narrow. If Honda would have done what everyone in the market wanted and made long-travel, sport SxS with an engine that would pull it through the dunes without $2,000 in upgrades, the market would expand considerably. About .01% of people that own a Rhino or Mule actually use it for it's original purpose. My uncle bought a Mule when they first came out, and that's the last time I saw one working on a farm.
