Honda ATVs have been used on New Zealand farms for more than 40 years.

Continuously refined and re-engineered to ensure they are fit for purpose for NZ conditions, the latest 2014 Honda range is no different.

The Honda ATV range extends from the TRX250 through to the awesome TRX680. Between sit the mighty 420cc and 500cc workhorses that are unwavering favourites in the NZ market.

The 500cc Forman range of ATVs is available as automatic or manual and also with the option of power steering. These models are the power performers of the range.

For 2014 the manual models have a host of upgrades including a new chassis which is now 20% stiffer than the previous model meaning they are more rugged and have an increased carrying capacity.

The manual versions also have front diff-lock meaning they will pull through the deepest mud bog.

The 420cc Rancher range of ATVs is the big news story of the 2014 range. The 420s now share the same heavy duty frame as the 500cc bikes.

The 420s now have a solid rear swing-arm mirroring the durability of the proven 500cc design. With revised transmission mapping in the automatic models and an enclosed rear axle the new Honda Rancher 420cc bikes are set to take the market by storm.

Other changes shared by the new range are aggressive new styling, stronger headlights, thicker seat foam, improvements to CV boots, new dash including clock and maintenance minder and a host of changes to improve performance.

Honda ATVs are the biggest selling range of ATVs in NZ, well known for dependable, reliable running while maintaining their value. Honda ATV’s are set to continue as NZ’s ATV of choice.

For 2014 there is also the new Pioneer side-by-side.

However, the two-wheel range has also been upgraded.

The new XR150 adds a new dimension to Honda’s proven farm range. For those who know off-road motorcycles, Honda’s XR range is legendary. The XR150 now features an all-new, larger, updated engine with an offset crankshaft, roller rockers, a lighter piston and a redesigned oil cooling path to further increase reliability and power.

The XR150 engine also features a new balancer shaft to reduce vibration for much smoother running, a real bonus when you spend hours in the saddle. Power has been increased and it has an exceptional 12-litre fuel tank and five-speed gearbox to last long days and go long distances. Its electric start makes life easy in all conditions and it has impressively low gearing so you can go ultra-slow for moving cattle.

It is reliable, low maintenance and durable. As a bonus it is also one of the few farm bikes that can be registered for the road. The XR150 also has a more comfortable seat, new modern dash, new headlight and updated bodywork.

Another bonus is the price with the XR150 coming in at the super low retail price of $3999 including GST

Also in the range is the CTX200 which now features revised graphics and a new optional LED spotlight to assist visibility at night. The CTX200 is a very economical, reliable and capable addition to the farming family. Its 8.5 litre tank with 1.8 litre reserve is purposely designed for long-range riding, so you can ride all day and all the way to the back of the station. With front and rear carry racks the CTX is the real workhorse of two-wheel farm bikes.

Price on the model is $5999 including GST.

Both bikes make a great addition to your farming line up. Talk to your local Honda dealer to arrange a test or to view the outstanding new range of 2014 Honda farm bikes visit www.hondamotorbikes.co.nz.
