| atvandmxman42's Full Review: 2001 Honda Sportrax 300EX |
The Honda SportTrack TRX300ex or just the 300ex is a great sport ATV for the beginner or the expert.
If you're thinking about getting the 400ex, but don't have the extra grand in your pocket, get the 300ex. It has most the same stuff and you can get a 400 Big Bore kit. Plus the 300ex has reverse and the 400ex doesn't. The 300ex is a better deal.
The 300ex has one of the most reliable engines you can get. Not-to-mention it is one of the fastest in its class. It will got 62mph ( yeah, I clocked myself). Here is the competition:
Kawasaki Mojave-$4,099, heavier, same speed, small.
Yamaha Blaster-$3,199, lighter, quicker acceleration, small.
Yamaha Warrior-$4,999, 350cc, same speed, quicker accelerat.
