For everyone out there that is contemplating which bike or atv to buy next, I would suggest considering a Honda. You probably have heard that Honda takes their time when building their products. We all want the best product and want it now, but don't you want to buy a product that is first and foremost reliable. I do! I don't have any trouble with Honda taking their time building and refining the 450r. Honda has been working on this bike for many years now, long before the yfz came out. Honda wants to get you a product that will run reliably and perform great. It is very well know that Yamaha has been first out on the market with all of their recent sport quads. All "first out" means is first on the market, not first to have a machine that is honestly tested and ready to go. I work at a multi-line dealer and know from experience. I can't believe how reliable Honda's are. Yamaha always has great peak power numbers on their bikes. If you buy a Yamaha, buy a second or third year Yamaha because that is when they will finally have it refined. As far as power is concerned, It shouldn't be a problem to have my 450r running at 52 to 57 RWH once I add my mods to it. If a 50 horsepower bike that handles better than a 400ex doesn't sound good then I'm not sure what your looking for. If you want a great drag racing atv then get a Banshee and put a 4** kit in it. A 50+ horsepower 400ex sounds pretty good to me for a all around bike. Any intelligent comments or questions encouraged.

. You will find very few who will argue on that point, but if you really do work at a multiline dealer, then you will know that Honda is losing this "title"
Recalls are a good thing. Ask any '01 Raptor owner. The # of recalls a company does has absolutely nothing to do with reliability. You have to take into account the # of atvs sold, and the % of quads repaired. Some companies recall more than others is a good thing.

You better be gettin that baby drunk, adding a turbo, or turning it into a 550, cause you ain't getting there on the 450 bore(not on NA and gas), guaranteed, and not at all unless you have more money than brains. There's VERY little to work with to get more ponies outta the TRX, you should be gizzing in your pants if you even break the 50 mark.
