I bought this ATV used for $800. It works pretty well. It will do 50 mph on the road with a 130 pound rider, however, that speed is very dependant on terrain, and wind. it is fast enough on the trails though. I bought it for use on trails near my house. ...

Pros: Quick, fun, strong, affordable crushing machine
Cons: doesn't have a very 'deep throat' if you know what i mean

Lets face it, basic knowledge tells us that Honda makes strong, durable, reliable things . . . . cars, generators, mowers, motorcycles . . . and the list goes on and on. And while I'm not a fan of buying foriegn made products (no offense) find me an...

Pros: Power, weight, handling
Cons: vibration, racks, brakes

When I was looking for a 4 wheeler to replace my 16 year old 3 wheeler, I only looked to one brand HONDA! The 3 wheeler had taken much abuse and the only reason I wanted something new was for the nice features like reverse and racks.

GENERAL:...

Pros: Power, Speed & Maneuverability
Cons: Not heavy enough

My family had been saving for some type of off-road vehicle for what seems like a decade. When we were old enough our parents decided that we have done a good job saving and they bought the "beginners dream" the Honda recon which is the...

Pros: Lots of low End Torque! Very fast for 229cc
Cons: Ugly front end- easily corrected, Stiff supension

I have had my Recon for 3 years and all in all I love it. Im getting older now and worry if it will ...

Pros: reliability, GREAT gas mileage, tons of fun, can run with SOME of the big dogs
Cons: Not alot of power, front brakes, needs oil change frequently.

I bought my '01 Honda Recon in the summer of '02. It was used but I really didn't have that much money. When I got it everything was fine on it. But once I started riding with my friends on 300EX's, 400EX's, Blasters, and YZ's, it just wasn't happening....

Pros: Easy to ride, easy to maintain, inexpensive and fun.
Cons: For its size and price, none.

I have a Polaris Trail Boss, and bought my wife the Honda Recon as a surprise birthday present. As it turned out she can't seem to grasp the shifting even with the clutch less feature, so when we ride together I ride the smaller Recon. To Be honest...

Pros: Great styling, handling
Cons: Poor low end acceleration

The model I am actually going to write this on is the 2005 Honda 250 Recon ES (no 4x4). I purchased this quad as a starter - I hadn't rode quads for years since I had an 80 and didn't want to get too crazy, just wanted to having something to play around ...

Pros: easy to drive, racks are great
Cons: haven't found any

My boyfriend bought a recon about 6 months ago. Never having ridden a atv before I really was intimidated by it. Soon after I was having the time of my life on it. I think this is the perfect atv for a beginner because it is so easy to ride. Shifting...

Pros: Speed, Suspension, handling, exceptional low end
Cons: Ground Clearance, Causes to much day-dreaming

I got this ATV in march of '99 and have had a ton of fun with it. The things that I like the most about are a fairly fast top speed(for a 250 utility)of around 53mph, awesome stability, light weight/easy to throw around on high speed trails,suspension...

Pros: Good first ATV. reverse, good beginners first 4-wheeler.
Cons: GROUND CLEARANCE, 4x2, gets stuck easily, racks

The Recon was my first ATV. It has served me well for about a year now. The 2 major things that I don't like about it is that it has a fairly low ground clearance, and the racks have no "lip" on them. In my trails, I have bottomed out in dirt and mud...

Pros: Cheap and good for beginners
Cons: Too small, not enough power, stiff suspension

I bought a 2000 Honda Recon in Feb. of 2000 because it looked neat, felt good and was cheap. It has been a good investment, but I wish I had spent another $1000 or 2 and gone with a bigger and better Yamaha or Kawasaki. The Recon has power, but does...

Pros: Good ground clearance, low center of gravity, VERY maneuverable, great gas efficiency, great price, great quality, fast, light, nimble. Overall a grade A++ machine.
Cons: Causes you to ride when you should be working, and daydream.

This quad is the best for the price. It's made by a manufacturer that you can trust, and is very maneuverable. I can get this thing through places that others have four-wheel-drive for. This 4-wheeler is the bomb. It has a fairly fast top...

Pros: Comfort, price
Cons: Power, ride

I bought a Honda because like everyone else I've been brain washed through clever advertising campaigns to think that Honda(or any Japanese product for that matter) is the best. I wanted an ATV with more power and options but the prices were ungodly...

Pros: 5 years of abuse, still like new.
Cons: none

I have had my recon for 5 years now. It has been worked severally. Went riding a few days back with ...
