[Diedrich]

i talked to my mom today and she said she would co-sign for me to get a new R..ima try and go saturday and get it...should i go with the 05 for $5300 or the 06 for 5800?...is there a big difference between the 2 besides electric start?

Hands down! The 06 is going to be way better. wait it will be worth it

until your battery gets ripped off by a big stick.
:eek:

the 06 is worth the wait, if you want a kickstart wait later in the year for the Kickstart model.

[fastrider450r]

Why do i get this sneaky suspicion that the kick model will have a few more goodies :confused:
I thought that the other day. i doubt it, but who know, with honda...anything could happen...or not. :p

You will really regret it then! Get the 06 450er and never look back!

[fastrider450r]

yeah get the electric start 06 and be done with it... you will NOT regret. theirs a good difference between the 05 and 06 believe me.

[Diedrich]

i was just bull****tin about the raptor..im a honda man..ima get the 06

[400exc]

does the 06 have a bigger piston in it or it is just in the gearing is why it is more powerful, or more horse?

[watts16]

bumped the compresion up to 12:1

[shamisc]

It's also a bigger piston! Shorter rod.:eek2:
