I have an 06 Rubicon and am going to sell and would like a better handeling, more sporty, 4x4. I have rode a 650 rincon and really liked how it handeled, it felt to me like it weighed less than 600 pounds, unlike my rubicon. So, regardless of Brand, what is the best handeling, sportiest 4x4, that has racks and IRS. Thanks TG

A recent review of the Rincon said it had the best ride in the business, and you did say best handling and sportiest! Even Honda calls it an SUV, so I think you can take that to mean it isn't a work or technical trail quad. It has no engine braking below around 8 mph, so it is all brakes below that...that would be an absolute killer for me. I am no fan of automatics, but I think I would even pick this transmission over a belt drive, if it only had engine braking....
