Al Lamb’s Dallas Honda: 2015 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon 4×4
If you’re headed out for an ATV adventure or if you just have some tough chores to tackle, you need a utility ATV that’s strong enough to get the job done, but intelligent enough to make it all easy. Meet the all-new Honda FourTrax Rubicon TRX500FA. For strength, its powerhouse engine delivers massive torque. For smarts, its longitudinal layout and exclusive Hondamatic transmission makes intelligent use of the power and quick work of getting to the ground where it really matters. From the tightest mountain trails to rugged ranches and farms, the Honda FourTrax Rubicon TRX500FA has what it takes to do the heavy work for you.
And the best news: The 2015 Rubicon is better than ever, with new features and six models that share the same 500-class engine as the Honda fourTrax Foreman 4×4. Translation – it’s tough, proven and efficient. The utility quad now has two engine configurations, a 475cc semi-automatic manual transmission and also a 475cc automatic DCT with drive and low range. The automatic DCT gives riders the choice of auto or manual shift mode for seamless gear shifting. For casual riding, the FourTrax Rubicon TRX500FA will hold the gear shift longer for smooth more relaxed ride. And for more aggressive riding, the utility ATV shifts the engine sooner to keep the engine in the optimal RPM range.
A first in the market, the 2015 Rubicon models also include a new Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) to give riders a smoother ride and greater traction over rocky terrain. Both front and rear suspension components on the utility quad were re-designed to achieve rigidity and strength. Honda’s revolutionary electric power steering coupled with torque and speed sensors automatically control for any environment or situation. For the new FourTrax Rubicon TRX500FA, Honda designed a more open feel ride position to give the utility ATV a full-size feel. With increased seat size and thickness along with raised handlebars, riders experience less vibration and a more capable utility ATV. The FourTrax Rubicon TRX500FA offers a low center of gravity, excellent maneuverability and the ability to carve tight technical trails. It’s everything riders want and need – all in one great utility machine.

Al Lamb's Dallas Honda: 2015 Honda Shadow Phantom 750
The VT750 Shadow Phantom is a completely unique take on the Shadow concept. Take a blacked-out 745cc V-twin engine and black rims sporting matte silver highlights, bobbed fenders, spoke wheels and a beefy front fork, and you’ve got a real head-turner. The deep and throaty exhaust note is hard to miss and irresistible, if nothing else. The most unbelievable part of the Phantom 750 is the price tag, and better yet the mileage, clocking in at an estimated 56 miles per gallon. A whisper holds more power than a ruckus, and that’s most definitely the case with this cruiser motorcycle.
Sleeked out and confidence-inspiring, the Phantom 750 includes an all-black engine, frame, rims and handlebar – accented with matte silver highlights. It’s a Shadow custom motorcycle that exudes the ideal of custom cruisers of the past, with the laid-back cool of James Dean. Spoke wheels, sleek pipes with bullet-style mufflers and a minimalist front fender round out the classic look. And at just 25.7 inches, the Phantom 750’s low seat height makes flat-footing it at stoplights or in parking lots a breeze. And the sleek, gunfighter-type seat is comfortable and looks great too.
The VT750 Shadow Phantom 745cc V-twin engine features Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI), ensuring easy cold-weather starting and seamless, any-condition fuel delivery. Its three-valve/dual-plug combustion chamber construction serves up massive low-, mid-, and top-end muscle, while burning cleaner. The Phantom 750 is another great example of the technology Honda brings to the Shadow Custom motorcycle line.
