for use as a utility bike the honda is the better machine for farm/houshold chores....as far as riding on a 40 or fifty mile ride the popo is much better. it runs better it handles the trails better and doesn get stuck in the mud holes as easy......as far as the rubi trans goes it is a variable speed drive using hyraulics. the engine drives a piston pump which pushes oil agianst another set of pistons which are on a swash plate connected to the output shaft therefore giving infinate drive ratios. in esp mode the swash plate stops at predetermined outputs therfore giving you gears in a sense....
