[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]I'm picking up my new 02 450s on Monday. I got it for $5,400 plus they are giving me a $200 credit for the stock tires. I have already got my MudMachines front:25-9.50-12 Bi-claws rear:25-12.50-12 Tri-claws. In the future I plan to get a Warn 2500 winch with the multimount system so I can also get the cooler carrier. My previous bogger is a 95 Honda 300 2x4 with MudMachines on the back. Any comments or suggestions about my new rig. I think the 450s has the best chance to last for many years of any atv on the market.

 

no doubt Honda will last you a while, i have owned 2 yamahas, 1 suzuki and 2 hondas in the past, i now have a 01 400ex and Honda is by FAR the most reliable best built of the bunch. Happy mudding.

 

I bet you'll love your choice for years to come. Remember to maintain the front brake seals when you go muddin' or into water. There have been several other posts here about how to do that. If you get a new one, please update us on the advantages of the unlocking front drive and traxlock.
