Looks like honda decieded to start catching up a little for 06. More power, better suspension and of course, eletric start.

Man thats the best news I have ever heard.Honda is finally gunna put the hurt on the YFZ.
Hondas rule!!!
Thanks for posting that Oldschool, you made my day.
The electric start Is the seller for me, I'm glad I waited to buy a 450. I'm getting to old to kick start a 4-stroke, now my 2-stroke, (thats another story).

Damn, a flat slide carb and a point and a half on the compression. Looks like my 04 is going bye bye. I'm sticking with the kick start unless I can add a kicker to the electric model. Lots of info here. LOTS of changes. The elctric start model weighs 6 pounds more, I can't afford to carry that weight around.

Maybe just quit drinking beer and you could take off the 6 lbs and have electric start. I know I should do that but no way is it gonna happen

IMO It's just being a poor consumer to spend that kind of money and not get electric.

Holy crap a couple weeks of you not posting and you start back with all this stupid crap again. I'm sure you will get smarter with age or at least all of us here are hoping you do.

hahahahaha bite me...........
anyway I just sick of everybody crying about the 450r being kick start. I understand what oldschool86 is saying, but if you don't like it buy the 400ex. It's a RACING quad. Anybody consider why honda made and electric version but still kept the kick start version, just like on the CRF450R. Well I guess it's not a proublem anymore, all you guys who want to look like racers, but are to lazy to simply kick over the machine got your way!!!
