I'm so glad they made this quad. It is a great quad. I'm 1st and foremost a 2 wheel moto guy [Boo, I know] but I always wanted a quad and I do have one. So much fun in the snow, just a different ride, another toy, and you can throw a chick on the back and go cruise. Makes it easier to pop wheelies with the extra weight over the back axle too. Putting a passenger on a motocross bike is torture for driver and passenger. This is a good video. I've heard nothing but good things about the 450 R and I know guys had been waiting for years for it to come out. When the 450 R 1st came out, nobody wanted the 400 EX and I was able to pick one up brand new for $3,000. It was a couple years old but just sat on the showroom floor. I'll have the 400 EX for life and leave it stock. I wonder why Honda stopped making the 450 R? Honda has made so many good quads [cars, motorcycles, snow blowers and everything else] over the years. You can't really beat their quality. This is coming from the guy who has had 3 Kawasakis, 1 Suzuki, 3 KTM's and I had a CBR 600 F2 for a while. You really can't go wrong with a Honda. I always liked the old 250 R 2 stroker quad but then again I'm partial to 2 strokes. It always comes down to the rider as I've blown guys away on 450 R's on my 400 EX but the 450 R is superior. I was just going for low maintenance and fun over a serious race quad. I love riding, I don't mind doing maintenance and I usually leave my bikes stock until something needs fixing.
I love my 2014 TRX450R! I ride it more than my RZR-S SXS. It’s fast....fun.....fun to wheelie! The maintenance really isn’t all that bad. Can’t wait to take it to Little Sahara and ride it in the sand and on the dunes! I wished Honda never stopped making them! I’ll just keep mine and enjoy it! Miss my old 1986 ATC 350X.....but this quad is just as fun!
I have a trx300 ,a trx 400 and finally bought a trx 700 about a month ago and i must admit its the best of them all , its so smooth and powerfull and the suspension is the best part.
Was actually a pretty good review....sounded a little biased but hey, who doesn't love honda reliability? This is coming from a yfz450 owner. To make your reviews much, much better I would consider adding engine output numbers, weight(dry and wet), fuel capacity, instrumentation knowledge(if any), top speed, etc. I know all of this is mainly just numbers but to the common man these specifications can be a difference in buying or not. Great vid!
I had a 07 Honda trx450er and it killed. My buddy had a 08 yfz450r and I pick my Honda any day. Better reliability and was much more comfortable to ride. He actually tried trading me. Mine was stock and just killed the jumps, straight away, well anything I asked it to with no problems for three years until I sold it. Honda all day baby.
love Honda sh#!t.. most dependable. I've had a trx200 for close to 25 years and I still pull 1000lb loads of firewood up from the woods weekly Honda is the best..
This quad hasn't changed since 2004, except electric start in 2006. It's a good platform quad. Definitely have to change the suspension and put a steering stabilizer on it, then it shreds. Good solid motor, my stock engine has out ran the KFX, YFZ and the LTR 450's but its stock suspension sux ass on the MX track.
2006 actually saw some engine changes such as a bigger bore and shorter stroke, it had different front steering knuckles to make it "push" into turns. it also had electric start as you said, but still had a kickstart option and the 06 and newer has a longer wheelbase as well as different front hood styling.
The Honda has one of the biggest riding areas for a sport quad, I'm 6'4 and just needed taller bars. Plus Honda's have the best potential and are cheaper for engine mods. Also if you do the green wire mod you can pull an extra 1000 revs out of it.
I had a trx 450,ltr450,400r,2 banshees,700 raptor, there all really good quads,I pick a raptor for the dunes,ltr and banshee for speed and yfz for handling but the one for me is the trx,because its reliable :)
If you take the airbox lid off, make sure to rejet your carb. Also be careful because if you ride in creeks like I sometimes do you can get water in your airbox, and that isn't good. Taking the airbox lid off will only help if you rejet, because it lets more oxygen into the engine, so when you rejet to a bigger size it lets more fuel in too. Power increase depends. If you have a stock exhaust it will help some with the baffle removed but you will see bigger gains with an aftermarket exhaust.
So in the video he said all sport atvs were cramped for a big rider, and honda should not be penalized, yet that was still in the lows section when he specifically said it should not matter since all sport atvs feel cramped for big riders.
Dave brown the yfz is not cheaper by no mean, the new yfz 450r is 11 grand while the trx 450r is 8 grand even the regular yfz is 9 grand so by no means is the yfz cheaper and they both do the same and in my opinion carb is way better and the trx 450r is a lot
Damn I want one of these, a Polaris Predator 500, or a YFZ 400 (I have a 250 YFZ). Whatever will fit my price range whenever I get more money saved up! Right now I have to ride my parents Kodiak 400 (Basically like a grizzly but IMO more sporty and more fun), I have to because my tire on my LTZ 250 popped today while we were riding Still was able to get in hill climbing and fun trail riding before it started leaking air
i always wanted to give one a shot. I am in my 40's 6"3 245lb. I rode a older 400 once and just felt like i was a giant on the bike I'm in the market for a new bike and am on my 3rd yfz. I know this is an older video so im not sure that you will see this. Whats you height if you dont mind me asking.
Everybody says yfz this yfz that. To me a pretty welled tuned fcr carb with an adj. fuel screw ( 15$ ) is by far! better than fuel injection. If it isn't running good then 15$ in jets will fix it not an expensive fuel programmer. If any of the fuel injection breaks it cost a lot of $. Fuel injection for a car is good tho. Now a steel frame is just as good as aluminum but takes a lot less space. Trx is definitely easier to work on.
I had a 08 raptor 250 but im planning to buy a bigger quad shouldi buy the trx450r non used or the 2016 yamaha yfz450r non ised i dont want it to blow up
i have a 04 Trx450r and im a bigger dude i dont feel cramped i used to ride dirtbikes and switching to a quad i love my Honda ...the only thing Honda can inprove on is that they dont rev as high as Yamahas if they did Honda would domininate the race quad class
Less maintence that the yfz and a lot less likely the blow up do to the yfz faulty oil tank, and iv seen it happen and iv drove both bikes, they both are quick snappy bikes and are both very fast but by no means in a yfz cheaper then a trx
I own a trx450/400r/raptor 700/2 banshees/ltr 450 and you know what?there all good quads,ltr Ian's the banshee is the fastest,yfz are the best handing quad and the Honda is bombproof,dumbs I'd use a raptor 700,racing would be ltr, trx would be the quad ill always will keep because it reliable :)
Walker Johnson I got an 01 for $2200. Definitely shouldn't have paid that much but the guy was firm. Needed some work but it was the nicest one I could find and already had a full HMF exhaust on it. Spent around 1k into it so far.

A stock Honda 450r is one cold blooded animal. They are set to run so lean from the factory. Mine will not stay idling unless it is warmed up to operation temp.
+Ksa Multigaming Old Hondas are cheap I was just messing with u I have a 1991 Yamaha phazer and love it but I have never had a problem with any Honda I've ever owned I had a 90 cc trx that I got for 500 and literally sunk the thing and started after new gas and oil but hey at least u didn't pick a Polaris or can am I snapped the frame on both my Polaris and my trx 250 I love it only thing I have put on it were new breaks
I like how they dont tell you that the trx is propbably the most dated 450 quad on the market. I mean a carberated standard width 450? that may have been cool in 2006 but yfz 450r is way better. this is closer to the yfz 450 which is much cheaper by the way.

I have the 450r's little brother the 400x and it is sooooo much fun and very fast. I cant even imagine what riding the 450r is like
Awesome!
I rode both and the 450R absolutely destroys the 400.

Krumpanana achauly your wrong.. trx is better to build a race bike because the cylinder is bigger and has more room to bore unlike the kfx & yfz
They only stopped making them because they are coming out with a new model in the 450s faster and better

nice review
They stopped making the ltr...
