Larger bed capacity - really 500lbs out of a machine this big? Come on.

Styling - Ok, but very bland, did they fire thier styling department?

ESP System - OK, what the hell were you thinking with removing the ESP option from this engine and transmission combo. Just plain stupid, very stupid.
Okay I agree with everything above but I have to point out that Honda tends to under rate everything so I sure that it could haul more and carry more in the bed than rated.

Nice to haves:

Electric steering - ok, it would be nice but is the additional cost worth it?
I would pay for it but on a bike this big turning it at a dead stop is not that bad.

Quote:
Adjustable seats - I guess I should have said easier adjustable seats, come on a Civic is easier.
Not an issue for me or anyone else that has rode with me. Not even sure why they made this an option.

Different transmission - I love the Rincon but a 3 speed, even if it is geared lower, is still no match compaired to a nice Hi/Low range setup! Think bigger Rubicon motor and transmission.
Agreed big is almost always better.

Hand parking brake - really? a floor mounted parking brake would have been better, then there could have been a nice storage area in the middle.
I love my hand brake and find it way better than my dad's prowler floor mounted park break. Granted hand breaks turns are not really pretty in the big red but they are do-able on the right surface.
