Default Why'd you pick your bike?

I was just wondering what made you pick your bike. For me, I started out with a Suzuki LTZ400 (that I'm now selling btw) because I loved the way it felt when I sat on it. After two years of owning it, I got sick of losing uphill sand races to all my buddies... guys AND gals...

One of my guy friends told me to take his '04 TRX450r for a spin and I did... And so started the obsession with getting one for myself... He has hot cams and a pipe and beats his wife's Raptor 700, (which was enough to make me happy.. I dislike Yami's) and the only other bike that can beat him (in our circle of friends) is... you guessed it... another TRX450r.

So... Why'd you get your bike?

I guess I kind of acquired the trx200sx with out really wanting it. lol I watched my son and his buddies abuse this thing to the point of stupid. Drunken timed laps through a Mormon church parking lot without helmets was just too over the top, so I offered a 100. and well, now it is mine. Fun little ride, and with the little tlc I have been giving it I am really amazed in finding the repairs are minor. I have been riding this thing like I stole it. Now that I put some new rear tires on it this thing is like a billy goat. Not the most sought after rig, but good enough for me at this time. I can start to understand the desire for more power and better suspensions and on and on. Peace, Mike

Honda has a Great rep for reliability.
I had a 450R, it was set up for MX. Bought used for the right price. It was a phase.
I got into trail riding and that is why I bought a 400EX

Honda is the only sport quad to own, great right off the showroom floor but way better with lots of aftermarket parts and engine work

I got mine because Honda has a great rep and the 400ex is a great trail quad with a great rep.

I got my 400ex because of the reliability, simple to maintain, and reputation. I do trail riding and you can't beat a 400ex for that!

Ride red or stay in bed!
