For comparison to the Recon, here is the somewhat sportier TRX250EX (this photo is a 2006 model year). Same 229cc longitudinally mounted engine with shaft drive (no chain).

Hook: My Rincon is a 650cc. Recon is smaller. I like the bigger engine.



US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Ours was the smaller Recon 250 with the motor sitting sideways, it was the wiles bike. Our friends had the someone and had no problems as well, I sold mine to a friend and he's still running it. Any of the big brands are good, I just have a love for Hondas. Going back to the days of My Z-50 and XR75 days, just couldn't kill them.

Having had all the air cooled Hondas. They are bullet proof sadly when Honda . Went to water cooled off road motos. Crf 250/450 they are made only to sell parts . All model brands have good and bad ones .

My 2005 Rincon Four Trax with the 680cc engine is liquid cooled and I have never had a problem with it. Bought it used in 2010. Just a fluke?

It's pretty low tech compared to the newer units by many manufacturers that have four speeds (including a low range) and power steering.

But, honestly, even with a three speed, there is nothing I havent been able to climb with all that power from a 680cc engine.
