Full Version: Trx450r
Anyone see this thing at the dunes yet or whereever. If ya have, post it here, let us know whatcha think of the new HondaTRX450R!!
We saw Tim Farr on his factory Honda smoke ALL the Yami's last weekend at the Moster Jam. Of course, those are all race-prepped bikes, not a stock 450R by any means.
aahhh nutz....not a pro lovel guy myself....still gonna go for the YFZ (i think)
After watching Tim Farr and being a honda guy myself and knowing honda's first year production bikes have very few problems I would BUY THE HONDA FOR SURE.
OHHH man, that would be a swweeeeeeet ride 
OK, 75/25 now.......

I just got the dirtwheels and they are testing it
Chaparral has one on their floor with sold and do not sit signs all over it. I heard a rumor it was quite detuned from the CRF450 dirtbike but I don't know if that has any merit or not.

Pipe, jetted, open air box, and cam mod.......the YFZ effn rips!
I ran against a YFZ that was built by Ron Woods, holy shiat, that thing was unreal.
I can't believe I'm saying this outloud, but I am very much considering the YFZ over the TRX. Shhhhhhh, don't tell my Honda that I said that.

The quad motor has different from the bike;
Cam
Compression
Valves
Carb
From what I have seen on the subject, it appears that all the mods were in an effort to increase reliability and durability. I think they probably accomplished that.

why worry about having a certain brand? I ride the quad/use the parts that I feel will allow to go the fastest....doesn't matter what it is, if it works better, I'm going to use it.
Banshee350....that's why i'll prob. have the sister bike to your's bro

I can't speak for Bronc, but my story started a long time ago, in a far away place, with an ATC 70..................
Just been hooked on the brand ever since, but I'm not brand blind
Everything in the motor is different than the dirtbike motor, tahts what I read
Youll love it, go for it!!
that modded out YFZ is gonna be damm hard to beat!!! i rode a friends out at dumont...first time i ever had to get on the breaks...doin a run UP a hill!!!!! that thing has UNREAL power!!!! honda has a tought act to follow. 
Honda is still a trail bike, The YFZ, thats the race bike.. Check the motor specs and then tell me which has more potential...

Alright fellas, here it goes... There was a TRX out at Glamis this last weekend and here is how it went. A stock YFZ took it by 1-1.5 bike lengths. One of his friends wanted my bro-in-law to race him next. ( his has an ESR intake, cam mod, jetting)
How I ended up on the bike, is a mystery but by the time we reached the top of Olds, he was a good 3-4 bike lengths back. I was only at 3/4 throttle without knowing it. (first time racing the thing) The TRX guy didn't stick around long enough to conversate about his bike.

I jus got the new Dirt Wheels today....
They picked the yami over the honda in a shoot out between the YFZ...TRX...and the Gas Gas 450.
I got to ride a friends YFZ...and im not surprised that that conclusion one bit!!!
Dirt Wheels called the TRX a great trail quad!

Now that's what i'm talking about!!!! Needed to hear that....really wanted to buy the Yami!! I just yelled over to the wife and said "pic a color.....white or blue?" She said "BLUE"
don't always believe what you read in the magazines.....they are someone elses opinion and everyones opinion is different. Ride both quads and see what you like best.....not what magazine says is the best
Yep...never completely believe what the magazines say. They tend to embellish things depending on who's the biggest sponsor, or try to not tick any of the advertisers off. The atv/bike mags seem to be the worst about that, but the car mags can be just as bad.
And it's hard to take what others have to say too seriously. Example..everyone says the YFZ's seat is too hard. While I haven't ridden one all day yet, I've sat on a few for a while, and it doesn't seem that bad. I suspect there will be hondas that beat yamaha's, and yamaha's that beat honda's....and then suzuki's will be released, and the cycle will go on. There will always be someone faster than you..so get what fits you, physically, financially, appearence-wise, whatever is important to 'you' ..and enjoy the heck out of it..

A'men to that, I have a raptor and YFZ so I can enjoy the best of both worlds, but I stick to the raptor most of the time, with all the mods I have done, it is one cushy ride, cant wait to try out my new swingarm..
Ya....that battle to be the fastest and best....my luck, yami will add somthing really wicked in 05....3 months after i buy the 04 
Don't matter to me though....been on 3-wheelers all my life and CANNOT wait to much longer to buy......sno sno go away...come back another day

pants soiled.
BansheE350, BeachHead & Screaming Ian are all on the money.
If everyone was after the fastest up the hil quad, everyone would have the new Yami.
Why the Yami was more than 3 hours behind the Honda in the Baja 1000?
The answer is, well just too many factors (rider, incentives, experience, bla, bla, bla).
Buy whatever quad fits your riding style and enjoy it. Don't believe what magazines have to say.
Screaming Iam, you have a nice Raptor, almost as nice as mine (just joking).
We have to hook up sometime to check out the gadgets.
Piece to all!!

tron....A TRX or YFZ you'll have next week?
Bronco....tron's already got a yfz...and he picked up his trx today, and headed out to glamis already, so he probably won't be answering you for a couple days.. It will be very interesting to hear his perspective since he now owns both. I'm sure it's going to be a long weekend waiting to hear the differences between the two different bikes. I "think" he's gonna say the trx is a "plusher" ride, perhaps close to the same power as the yfz stock, and I bet he likes the seat a whole lot better than the yfz....(cause he already added an inch worth of padding to his yamaha) Honda builds a good product, and they have a reputation of having a great "feel"...so I suspect you'll be hearing pretty positive things about it..

10-4 Beach.....i cannot wait to hear. Looking forward to a regular jo blo's opinion on the machines and not the magazines!!!
I just had a TRX450 sighting on a trailer in Lakeside at 11:30 pm. I think I hurt my neck trying to get a look at it as it was going the opposite direction.
Sweet looking ride. peace
I'd like a 450R with a 250R seat/plastic conservsion
I like anything that's been modded Trons trx must still be runnin.....no posts yet
