    I've always believed that Honda made the best XR trail bike when it made the 400. This bike was just the right size, weight and power for ripping through the woods. Now, as far as this particular one goes, it looks and sounds amazing.

      @Quirin M. I absolutely love my 600. Always has enough power and feels much lighter than it is.

    • @thevoxofreason8468
      @thevoxofreason8468 Před 2 lety +4

      @Quirin M. Yeah, I've owned both. The 600 is a good machine. I set my 600 up as a dual sport, street legal. I just feel a bit more confident on the tight, technical stuff I usually ride on the 400. However, truth be told, I prefer the KDX (love 2 strokes) over both. That all said, I really miss seeing them all new in dealerships.

      What about the 82-85 xr350? Is that a contender? Maybe just the 85 because the 83-84 sported dual carb

      There's not a 400 that can catch my 600. Web-cam, Wiseco piston, dual carbs dialed, custom transmission.... Shit I'll put money where my mouth is, if i didn't go broke building it lmao.

    I have a 98 that has been through the wringer, and never let me down. The tank and side panels look like they've been sandblasted from rubbing against them while covered with mud. Seeing this one with the A-Loop kit on it has my wallet burning. Wish the graphics were available because they're better looking than what's out there for sale! Great job!

    Hey, have you guys looked into Steel-It finish products? Honda Off-road Racing apparently uses their stainless steel impregnated polyurethane spray. I can't imagine you don't know about Steel-It. I look at Steel-It more like high end equipment, than paint. Superior finishes, especially for frames. (stainless steel or black) I would bet the folks at Steel-It will love your business, and you'll love their products. Stainless steel and polyurethane coated frame? Yes please! if you get a frame crack, weld it at the truck, hit it with a spray of Steel-It, and you're fixed, and re-finished. You can weld right through Steel-It, and you don't prime bare steel, before finishing with Steel-It either. Amazing stuff, dude!
