Twentycharactors,
You should know that the 450 fourstoke bikes are harder than hell to start when they're warmed up. They don't have a hot start button.

MURDR
I have never had reverse on any quad I have owned and I don't care if I have it. So , no, I won't sit there and say I sure wish I have reverse.

Like I said in my first post. The ones complaining about not having reverse or electric start don't own a 450R.
To some it may be needed, to most 450R owners it isn't missed!

 

yeah. my point was that IF they had estart, they would not be wasting time & energy kicking it!

 

IF they had a hot start button they'd fire first kick!

 

Theres nothing wrong with putting reverse on the best trail bike...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Freaking whiner!! Think of more excuses to why you dont have a 450r.. GUESS WHAT, YOU obviously don't like the bike.. nothing will change that, You are almost acting like some one saying "Why didn't honda put reverse and electric start on the 1986 trx250r!" Go get a life, your happy with your z400.. I think they suck, we all have our different opinions but i dont go in the suzuki forum and say OMG SUZUKI SUCKS I WOULDNT BUY ONE UNLESS IT WAS 800 CC KICK START WITH PADDLES FROM FACTORY!! OMG.

Do you get my point.. loser?

 

 

Whoa............. Take it easy there fruity delux. Dont get your G-string in a bundle. Wow its sad when some one from honda agrees with what i am saying. Then some D!ck head like you comes on and tries to get tuff. Take your internet tuff guy attitude and get the F*ck out of here. Oh ya ............................Dont forget to pull that large shaft out of your as$.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

hmm...the 05 preds gained reverse and lost 3 pounds...but yea, its all a matter of opinion. if you dont like the 05 400, then buy an 04 for about 5100-4700, thats what i did

 

I think honda needs to bring back the best quad ever the 250R
and then maybe people might stop bitchen about different quads
or may be not but thats my opinion
I feel theres alot of good bikes and a lot of junk out there
as for which is the best? I say what you like to ride is whats best

 

The 250R was NOT "the best quad ever." <---Spoken like a true 3rd grader.

It was just so revolutionary at the time, that it took years for people to make ATV's that were superior to it. The 450R replaced the 250R, but in 4-stroke form. FACT: The 450R is a better quad than the 250R. The only reason it isn't going to be as 'legendary' is because there are other quads out there to compete with it IE YFZ450....The 250R was quite possibly the most revolutionary quad we've seen...meaning it may be the most ahead of its time out of all the major sport ATV's, but there are better ones out today...

don't get me wrong...the 250R is an amazing ATV, but if Honda had never created it, and put out on the market TODAY as a 6000 dollar ATV, I'd still have a YFZ sitting in my garage...Hell, I'd probably still have a 400ex sitting in my garage..
