don't you own a HONDA dealer? havn't you rid'n one being that you went to the show?

LOL i love ur signature chad

Ive been riding mine all day n i think they are great! So much snappier than the 05s, shocks feel great, loving the electric start, hood n light look great

It does come off the ground a lot

Theres a couple kids around here with 450s n when i get mine broke in well line them up n compare all that

Not an owner here. We got a few of them in chad. I rode one gently around the parking lot. You can't tell much from that can you? I respect the fact that someone doesn't want you to break in their quad for them:)

I don't make too much time for hockey unfortunately. I spend my weekends at the Oregon dunes and/or my motocross track.

Any other ride reports?

understandable i have been to portland a few times for hockey and have seen pics of the dunes... would they be worth a trip up from canada to go to?

Come on guys some of u got urs over a week ago.. i wanna know what im in for ;)

When i was finally ready to get mine the guy announced for someone to pull my quad around to the trailor im liek dad who the F*CK is getting on my quad?!?! but he eased it over in 1st gear so it was cool

There was a drizzle of muddy water on the fender first time i sat on it so they deffinately rode it

It rips...tons of power. Comes on hard and fast. The new lower gearing is way better for dunes...imho. E-start cranks kinda slow...had to bump idle up. Ergos feel slightly better. Engine has a bit more vibration...due to the forged 12:1 piston? Also makes more noise at idle. All in all I couldn't be happier. Add the HRC kit and I should be set.

Was a nice day at the beach.

I wish i could ride an older one to know how much of a difference it is.. it definately does hit hard its like a powerband it will take the front wheels right off the ground
