  • good little quad

    Aug 10 '09
    Pros: price
    reliabilty
    manuverability
    speed
    racks
    noise
    fuel efficiency
    Cons: center of gravity
    top speed
    acceleration
    semi-auto shifting
    brakes

    Summary: 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. ... read more

    Mar 15 '07
    Pros: Great styling, handling
    Cons: Poor low end acceleration

    Summary: 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 ... read more

    Dec 06 '03
    Pros: Comfort, price
    Cons: Power, ride

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • 2001 Honda Recon (Red)

    Mar 12 '03
    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.

    Summary: 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. ... read more

  • My little Recon

    Dec 09 '02
    Pros: Powerful,excellent turning,quick stopping
    Cons: carburetor problem

    Summary: I bought my recon used, but in like new condition. It works like a new one most of the time. For some reason when I go over many bumps at a time it dies with my thumb on the throttle, but when I let off it idles fine and won't rev for about a minute. ... read more

  • Overall Great ATV

    May 31 '02
    Pros: Excellent ATV for beginners.
    Cons: None

    Summary: I do not personally own this model. A friend of mine purchased one new in 2001 and has not had one single problem arise with this ATV. I have rode this 4-wheeler on numerous occasions and find it very comfortable(I'm 6' tall) ... read more

  • 2001 Honda Recon Lx SP

    Apr 24 '02
    Pros: A powerful machine great for work in the yard and for recreation.
    Cons: There really aren't any other than better grip on stock tires.

    Summary: This four wheeler has been great to me and has left me no ideas of buying anything but a Honda. If you where lucky enough to purchase one of the recons in 2001 that had a side ways engine for an extra 50 cc boost you are lucky. The boost has made my ... read more

  • Move It Or Lose It . . . Sister!

    Dec 03 '01
    Pros: Quick, fun, strong, affordable crushing machine
    Cons: doesn't have a very 'deep throat' if you know what i mean

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Unexpected surprise.

    Nov 09 '01
    Pros: Easy to ride, easy to maintain, inexpensive and fun.
    Cons: For its size and price, none.

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Fast, Fun, and Affordable

    Jul 08 '01
    Pros: fast, light weight, powerful, fun to drive, looks awesome
    Cons: no fuel gauge

    Summary: I just bought my Honda recon 2 days ago. I only got a chance to ride it twice, but while I was driving it, I didn't want to get off. This is my first ATV, and to me, it is real simple to drive. It has the automatic clutch, so shifting gears is simple and ... read more

  • Great first-timer's atv

    Jun 25 '01
    Pros: Good first ATV. reverse, good beginners first 4-wheeler.
    Cons: GROUND CLEARANCE, 4x2, gets stuck easily, racks

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • The beginners DREAM!!!!

    Dec 23 '00
    Pros: Power, Speed & Maneuverability
    Cons: Not heavy enough

    Summary: 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 ... read more

  • Great Price- Awesome Machine

    Dec 03 '00
    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.

    Summary: 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 ... read more
