2008THE DUNES AT PISMO OR GLAMIS. The MX

course at Budds Creek. The dusty, fifth-gear

fire roads of the Baja 1000. The mud of the

GNCC courses on the East Coast. And that red,

red Georgia clay. There’s nothing like riding an

ATV with a potent engine, perfect suspension

and a wide-open trail in front of you. What’s

keeping you from living that dream?

PERFORMANCE YOU CAN COUNT ON When

most people think about Honda all-terrain

vehicles, they probably think about dependable,

hard-working machines for the ranch or farm.

And we build plenty of those too. But when it

comes to our sport ATVs, it’s all about one thing:

performance. And that comes from a level of

engineering that nobody can match.

AMA Pro MX Champion. AMA Hare and Hound

Champion. WPSA Pro Quad 450 Champion.

BITD Champion. SCORE Desert Series Cham-

pion ( just to name a few). It’s like Honda engi-

neers designed some sort of trophy magnet and

tucked it into the crankcase. In reality, it’s more

simple: light weight, great power and great

handling, all in a balanced machine that just

plain works better than anything else out there.

TRX450R

TRX450R Ever since the Honda TRX®450R rolled up to the starting gate, it’s sent all the pretenders to the sport-ATV throne

slinking back to the pits. With championships in every major ATV discipline, it’s the machine serious racers choose.

And it’s easy to see why: Just look at some of the 450’s features. An electric starter kicks the high-revving short-stroke

engine to life (we still make a kickstart-only model if you’d prefer). A flat-slide carburetor and a 12.0:1 compression ratio are

almost guaranteed to give you the holeshot and let you stretch that lead all the way to the finish. Long-travel suspension,

lightweight steering knuckles, triple disc brakes and premium shock absorbers all add up to performance that’s unparal-

leled. Because it’s a Honda, even if you’re not racing at ten-tenths, you can still have a great time just sport riding on your

favorite trails. And check out the cool color schemes we have this year!

TRX400EX Built around one of the

best ATV engines we’ve ever pro-

duced—a big-bore air-cooled dry-

sump design—the TRX400EX is a pure

competition-grade machine that’s

great for sport-ATV riding. Bulletproof

engine, superior suspension, disc

brakes, reverse—you’ve got it all here.

And it’s packaged in new bodywork

that’s sure to turn heads.

TRX300EX If you’re a sport or

sport-recreational rider, you can get

agility, power and value in one ATV.

You get a high-output SOHC four-

stroke, double-wishbone independent

front suspension, a manual five-speed

transmission and an electric starter—

along with sharp styling and an

easy-to-use reverse.

ELECTRIC START Every TRX

on these pages is available with

an effortless electric starter, a

feature everyone can appreciate.

SHAFT FINAL DRIVE Perfect

for recreational riders, the

TRX250EX uses a strong,

maintenance-free shaft-final-

drive design.

DRY SUMP Our TRX400EX

features a true dry-sump system

(shown here), while the TRX450R

uses a twin-sump design. Both

improve performance.

REVERSE Our TRX400EX,

300EX and 250EX all come

with an easy-to-use reverse, for

unloading or getting out of

tight spots.

TRX250EX What’s more fun than a

day on your favorite ATV? How about

sharing that with some friends and

family. TRX250EX to the rescue!

Featuring the exclusive Honda

SportClutch,™ experienced riders get

all the performance and control that a

conventional handlebar-mounted

clutch offers, while beginners won’t

have any anxiety about stalling. What

better way to learn—and to enjoy a

day out riding?

TRX90EX Need the perfect-sized

ATV for your young Red Rider? Then

check out the TRX90EX. It’s de-

signed specifically for riders aged

12 to 15 years. With a four-stroke

engine and a four-speed transmis-

sion (the latter featuring our no-

clutch shifting), it has plenty of

power. And because it’s a Honda,

you know that it’s going to run just

about forever—a big plus when your

kids want to ride. It sips gas and

features an effortless electric starter.

It’s easy to load and unload. And it’s

an ATV your kids will love.

BE A RESPONSIBLE RIDER ATVs can be hazardous to operate. Remember, always wear a

and read their owner’s manual thoroughly. New ATV purchasers should take advantage of free ASI

training and completion incentives. For safety or training information, see your Honda Dealer or call

the ASI at 1-800-887-2887.

Whenever you ride off-road, make sure you follow all the “TREAD LIGHTLY” guidelines, and always

stay on established trails in approved areas. Keep your riding areas clean, use common sense,

and respect the rights of others. Never modify your silencer or spark arrestor. Always obtain written

permission before riding on private lands, and obey all the laws and regulations governing your

riding areas.
