450r pros and cons

[emaxxjeremy]

well i am looking at buying an 04 450r and was looking for honest opinions on the bike.
how bad/hard is the kick start? i have always had electric start and am scared of the manual labor.
is it a decent quad in stock form? pipe/jet/filter?
i am looking for honest opinions from objective people please

the 04 450r is rediculously easy to kickstart. It is my first kickstart bike and I wont ever go back to Estart. With estart you have to deal with batteries and wires all the time but kickstart you know its going to start every time and will kick over about everytime the first kick. In stock form it is a perfect bike but the handling could take some getting used to as it is just a little tall but thats the only little thing. good luck and dont be scared of the manual labor
