I am planning to purchase a TRV, 500.
Does anyone know of differences in the 05 versus 06 model?
I am new to 4x4 atv,s. I have owned a Raptor, Recon and 250 Honda Sport model.
I hope the TRV will be excellent in one up as well as two riding.
Thankyou for your input and enjoy Thanksgiving.......................Jeff

 

I have an 05. I love it, very stable. Only difference I know of is the rear seat comes off easier. Some sort of storage I believe.Good luck!

 

Thankyou Cat, One man also explained a small difference in front shocks. I plan to buy an 06 LIme Green!! Jeff

 

Bossloader has an 03 and a 06 loves them both i will let him know you are wanting info about them.

 

Thankyou Bigdred, I appreciate all imput I am recieving in this manner. The cost is high for an atv and my fellow riders help me decide in an informed fashion. At least that is how it is suppose to work! Thankyou for your help, Jeff

 

I believe there is a difference in the pod, analog speedo in the '06 vs digital in the '05, the 12V accy plug is in the pod in the '06 and the fuel tank is moved from up front to a little more rear in the '06. The '06 also has a small storage compt. where the fuel tank used to be.

there are alot of upgrades and you will love them all gas tank in the rear, exaust straight out the back floor racks better back seat looks better fenders are wider insterment pod nice to have one, and under the seat is alot better tool kit easy access, and removing and putting the seat on and off is alot easyer i have two of them and love them both (03,06)

 

Trvman...You HAVE an 06 already!! My dealer said he would not have one for another two weeks. I think the new gas tank fill location is nifty. Is it me or doesn't everybody spill fuel as they are filling the system? This way the odor is behind me. I did notice the tool kit is now in individual plastic grooves. No more sacks of dirty tools i,m waiting for my dealer to call me when my new lime green 06 arrives. I feel like a kid(old kid) on Christmas.
Thank you your input and maybe I will see you on the trail.......Jeff

 

I saw an '06 TRV in Mid October at a Bass Pro Shop. I thought they had been out for a while. Must be a regional thing.

the new Bass pro here in CO has some 06 TRV's as well
