Whats the reasoning behind Honda not having reverse on some of thier sport quads. I have a few ideas why but there must be a good theory behind it. I know a lot of people who were turned off with Honda because of this. I will always be a Honda fanatic but was just wondering...

 

 

I guess they will be turned off by Yamaha too with the release of the reverseless YFZ 450.

I think they do it to save weight, I guess you don't need reverse on a track, makes trail riding more convenient.

 

I'm pretty sure they did it because they took the xr400 motor and did not want to go throught the trouble of adding reverse.

 

Good call rider jay[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] who needs reverse on a sport quad?

 

yah, if your not strong enough to pick your sport quad up you shouldn't be driving one.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

i agree on the ability to pick up your sport quad to turn it around, sorry for jumpin in on the honda forum but u ever try liftin the front end of a ds650? the things a tank! i dunno, the lack of reverse never botherd me so far, just pick good lines to ride, i try at least so i don't have to pick up the front and turn it around and find another line, dunes have alot of lines though... peace...josh....

 

I don't mind not having reverse at all, but i agree with joshie, maybe after a certain weight they should really consider adding reverse. Luckily they put reverse on the v force!

 

yeah over 400lbs could use reverse, but not a 360lb quad.

 

I would prefer my raptor didnt have reverse.
