2006 Honda TRX™ 450R (Electric Start)

I own a used 2009 can am ds 450xc and a 2006 honda trx 450er and yes i would say that stock the ds 450 is better on track for its lightweight and mobility but im in the pnw so in that case i go dune riding and the trx might be heavier but is 1. cheaper to mod 2. reliable 3. and is quick and is the ... perfect dune atv if you add an aftermarket exhaust and k&n filter with open air box lid and paddles. If you have all that on your trx then your in for a treat,ps. better that yfz cause they break alot and also get a dasa exhaust for the trx they sound amazing.

I've owned a 450er for a while now and all I have to say is it has no limits. Most reliable quad on the market. I bought mine used in very good condition barely ridden haven't had any problems out of it besides normal maintenance like, bearings etc. other than that it's a solid quad. Lots of power ... and very controllable. But I have to say compared to the Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki quad, the Honda has a lot less noticeable power. But it's a great quad for the trails great for beginners and pros overall a great quad.

I have ridden and owned yamahas, Hondas and Suzukis. My all time favorite was the legendary TRX 250R, a machine well ahead of its time with frame geometry copied on numerous machines to this day. With new 4 stroke technology becoming dominant on and off the track it is obvious for anyone to see that ... Honda has succeeded in creating another icon in ATV history. It has handling and power to weight ratios that can make a novice feel very confident behind the controls, with superb braking the rider is always capable of slowing down in a hurry. No matter what other brands others may ride, there is no one that can argue Hondas record of hell and back reliability. PS just to prove I am not just playing favorites, I own a Yamaha as well.
