Hey guys trying to get some opinions i am CONSIDERING trading in my 05 or an 06 I would need 1250.00 plus my 05 which is basically brand new with the hrc now ... I would be getting the 06 with the e start ... any opinions?? is there any reason i should keep the 05? are the 06 that much better?? would the e start 06 be slower then my 05 with hrc kit??

06 HRC is the ****. Lots of small changes besides the obvious changes.
From motor, to suspension, longer swingarm, list goes on and on.
4 of my friends have 04-05s and they all love mine.
Just preference. I love ES

if it were me i'd keep the 05 with the hrc kit your faster than the 06 stock.but the final decision is yours i have a 06 with hotcam and like it very much but sometimes its a beast to start,waiting on a new battery, my friends have 05s and they like them also so it comes down to personal choice.. with equal mods 06 is a little fater than 05.

Unless you HAVE to have the e-start for god sakes do not do the trade its just not worth it. Ive rode an 06 and it is a little snappier but not 1250 dollars worth.

Take the $1250 and invest in suspension...You will fall in love with your Quad all over again.

my dealer told me that a stock 06 will beat a 05 with a hrc kit and a full system hmf pipe. my dude thats on here said he beat an 05 with a full system and jetted. take it as u want.

no way, not with the same mods.

In reality the power diff is very close but the improvements to the entire machine overall is what makes the difference.
