Great Little ATV...
By Dwayne (I am an Owner) on Jun 27, 2011Got the 2011 Recon ES new 2 days ago for my wife,since she is paralized in her left leg there was'nt too many options out there for an automatic 4 wheeler.We both have owned many atv's and wanted another Honda because they truely are the most dependable,longest lasting,atv's out there(Yamaha is my ... 2nd choice).We also wanted something small,and nimble.Since Honda quit making the 300 in 03,the 250 has always been #2 to me from expierence.Anyways this atv has already met my expectations of a quality machine.Me and her rode it yesterday,while I was giving her the in's and out's of shifting gears(She always just left the others in 2nd),this little monster pulled both of us in 3rd gear up a slight incline from a start without hesitation(I did'nt realize she had it there),our total weight is 320 pounds.As I was coaching her,it is realy hard predicting when you have to downshift,since this little atv is realy strong for it's size.The only problem I have with it is,it did'nt come factory with a trailer hitch.All in all I give it a 9,these are realy great little atv's,and I cant wait till after break-in period so we can hit some real trails with it...BTW,I gave the ride score a little less than great because the seat should be slightly bigger...
