I don't and have never owned a new Honda.
I don't like the sound of electronic shifting, sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, also, power... They should offer a stock engine and a tuned more powerful engine throughout the range that you can spec when buying new.

I'm with shade here, disc brakes should be on every ATV, drums are a thing of the past
next would be more HP, and a HIGH LOW range transfer case on utility models would be nice IMO
so those that work an ATV have the low end, and those that trail ride same ATV can have the top end!

next would be optional BETTER SHOCK packages, WHY now off better?? I am sure many of the pure trail guys would LOVE this option

High and low Would be epic on a Honda I must admit, would suit everybody, work, mudding, trail riding.. This could actually be a very, very good selling point if they offered this on new ATV's.

There's a word here in the UK, 'KISS', Keep It Simple Stupid.. Simplicity is tried and tested, it never fails, high tech gadgets and gizmos always go wrong at the most inconvenient times.
Temp gauge, fuel gauge, job done ;-)

you need less coffee, your double posting !..lmfao.

Haha.. Yeah I spotted that, using my iPhone and my network went a little crazy. Technology at its finest, should have kept it simple

I don't think adding more gauges will leave you walking back to your truck.....

Tach is a VERY handy tool for tuning. Almost irreplaceable really. It's a lot easier dailing in your fuel map when you know what RPM the engine is at.

You can buy aftermarket Tach's/ rev counters. Check eBayUK out.

I know, I've ran a TinyTach before. But it's a lot easier when it's already there lol

This is what I was on about Mac, I've considered getting one myself.

As far as tuning goes Mac is right Shady, a tach is very necessary. Take a track car to the dyno and the guy will tell you to take your car home and bring it back when you have one fitted!

Tach debate aside I think the option of a hand throttle (similar to a tractor) or cruise/speed control would be a good idea on a utility. So many use them for spraying and harrowing and it would be quite well used in the farm industry I should imagine.
As I say, an optional extra rather than on every ATV.

Hand throttles are a little suicidal I must admit, I use it on our tractor going down a certain straight road, had a car pull out from a side road not long back and shat myself when it wouldn't stop! Kind of forgot that I'd used the hand throttle! Luckily the tractor has a clutch, I should imagine it would have been far worse if it was an auto or semi!

Suppose on an ATV it could be made to be overridden by the brakes/brake light switches.
