2005 Honda TRX 450R
I purchased my R in December of 2004...and whoa baby! I was originally going to purchase a Yamaha YFZ 450 but while waiting on a white model to arrive we were comparing ATVs for the kids...and while at the Honda shop I sat on the 450R. It felt so good, back to the Yamaha shop and sat on the YFZ, no comparison. The 450R just felt like the bike for me...I have not regretted my decision yet. Electric start would be nice...but I love my R.
