Last year, ATV Sport dubbed Honda the "Most Influential OEM" in the industry. No surprise, considering everything Honda performance and engineering stand for is embodied in the machine you see here. From the Baja 1000 to the GNC MX series, the TRX450R has been winning pretty much everything it enters since day one. The only decision you need to make, then, is how you want to start it: kick or electric? - [Honda]
