Posted By: Fanofthefortyone Honda ATV shortage? - 07/09/20
Looking for a Honda atv for one of the grandson, FourTrax foreman Rubicon, red with the electric power steering and automatic transmission and failed to find one.
Found a couple green ones and a couple deluxe in molasses brown.
One shop did not have a single 4 wheeler in stock and not sure when they would have one.
Are they in short supply in your area?

Thank me later.

Lots of things are getting scarce.

By my tractor dealer the other day, and they were low... I asked, and he said they were on order. Who knows when they'll arrive?

Appliances are disappearing around here. Lowe's is empty. Square D breakers, 4 way light switches, exterior doors and windows, .

Our store shelves are starting to show just how much we've become dependent on China, etc. Hopefully American companies will start making stuff here again.
It won't be long before people have to start parking their cars because of the lack of imported parts.

My parts......SxS machines rule

Although some trail systems are limited to quads/50" machines

Our local Manti Forest has widened to 66"

BLM property..the real BLM......trails are 66" +

You can't haul enough beer on a quad.......... smile

Have you tried Halls Motorsports in Mobile? Looks like they have a few in stock.

I’d be surprised if Brookhaven didn’t have multiples of what you want.

I'm happy to take some pain as long as it means American manufacturing jobs make a come back.

I did not try them, but looks like a heck of a deal considering what some dealers are asking.

Bought mine at Abernathy’s in Union City, Tennessee. It’s quit a drive, but they were a grand cheaper than anybody around here.

Lake Hill shows a couple. Doesn’t say DCT but specs call it an automatic. May check with them.

Brookhaven
Isn’t this what you’re looking for?
I was under the impression that they only listed what they had in stock. Could be wrong though. Maybe they sold it this week.

Try Henry Honda in Kosciusko and
Great River Honda in Natchez

Phone call should do it.

There is a Honda dealership in Des Moines and he had a bunch of them on the floor.

But much too big and wide for the trails in my neck of the woods. Besides, if I wanted something as big as a side by side, I would just get a Suzuki Samurai/Geo Tracker.

That’s the one, but it’s not in stock. It might have been for a day or two but now it’s gone.
Brookhaven beats most dealer prices around here and it’s only an hour drive.

If those motorized golf carts weren't so
expensive, I might could get interested.
JMHO if I'm having to spend $10,000 plus
for something to ride around in, and it
won't fit in the back of my truck and has
be hauled around on a trailer, I'd as soon
invest in an old jeep
Posted By: aboltfan Re: Honda ATV shortage? - 07/10/20
Give Ramey's Power Sports in Purvis a call. They meet Brookhaven and Laurel's prices and had a good inventory when I bought my sxs there in February. I bought a 2020 Pioneer 500 for two grand below MSRP. If they have what you want they are easy to get to, only a coule of miles right off I-59.

Nice looking machine. Only thing I don't like is the open foot peg area. I've ridden a ton of miles on a quad and more than once I've kicked up a sharp stick that busts through hard plastic.
Wear boots.

Chattanooga may be too far for you, but they beat my local stealers by a lot and I did not have to pay sales tax

Believe the Honda ATVs are made in SC. They have billboards along the interstates proclaiming that SC is the global leader in ATV production

Been looking at a new Polaris Ranger in SW Montana. They had a run on them and Polaris is having a hard time keeping up across three dealerships anyway.
