oh alright, thanks
oh alright, thanks
I think all the model years have the same name trx400ex. Just the newer ones say sportrax instead of fourtrax on the seat. and the 05 has the headlights cut out and a hood put on, reverse, and different gearing.

so the sportrax has less top end?
but has more low end?
or the other way around
Put it this way, TRX have been around since 99, My manual says 1999 Honda TRX400ex But the seatcovers are diffrent, now either u want a 99-04 400ex, or you want an 05 with reverse, U can change our low/top end speeds with sprocket changes, 15-38t is stock on the 400s i know at leat till 04.

all honda quads are trx models because if you take off the rear plastics and seat on any honda quad it has a sticker on the subframe dat says trx (wat ever the model is) on it on it the only diff now is dat the 05's got reverse whice is realy not needed and diff plastics and graphics the red sportrax models are the fastest ones i raced my friend wit his 05 trx400ex and tore him up dat 11 or w.e pounds make a diff in top and bottom end

I don't think he was serious when he said red are faster cuase the only difference is the plastic. And the new ones have different gearing becuase they have reverse so they had to change the transmission all around so for all you who beged for reverse you got it but it cost some speed.Originally posted by jak1389

lol i wasnt serious at all. ive been riding for such a long time and i am smart enough to know that the color of plastics do not change anything. its just like saying adding stickers adds horsepower.

In my opinion, it kind of hard to say the difference. TRX's having reverse is a lie, because I have and '04 TRX400EX thats doesn't have reverse. The thing is, the manufacturer tag says TRX but then the factory stickers on the side of the quad say Sportrax 400EX. I think though that there really is no real difference. It may be coincidental that some year's TRX's have reverse, where other year's Sportrax's don't, or whatever, but all in all, it's the same bike.
Oh and BTW, what has been said about the '05 is true. It uses a 14 tooth front sprocket where the earlier years use a 15 tooth. So an '05 will have more low end, but the earlier ones will have more top end. There is a whole thread about top speeds, but simply put, an '04 will do 67mph, where an '05 will do about 55.
And just so we are all clear, red ones are way faster than yellow ones haha, just kidding
