    why is it falling apart to begin with? I have an 05 and I race all the time (XC and harescrambles) never once has it failed me.... Maintenance is key. If you are an agreesive rider, you are going to need check over the quad after every ride.


    for 2010, I hope honda doesnt change much, IMO the trx is the best 450 out there next to the KTM. If you really want to get a new quad, go for the 08 i doubt honda is going to change much.

    I would just got a good deal on a left over 08 KICKSTART, gusset the frame, put a good set of LT suspenion all around, and try to ride smoother. Eventually you will still crack the frame but if your not casing jumps, or bottoming out all the time, and you have good suspension setup for you and your bike, i bet your frame will last longer.

    I agree the frame sux, but the bike is great once you build it up.

    Also, dont listen too much to folks on here claiming they know something is coming out... it happens EVERY year and EVERY year they are wrong!!
