2008 Honda TRX90EX Review

Test Ride

This little thing is unreal. It is so fun to ride, it’s very reliable and starts every time on the first press of the button. This thing managed to go over the rock ledges and through the foot deep mud puddles and up the hills that had the other people shaking their heads in disbelieve. All this and not a single problem in a total of 100 miles in 2 days of testing! If you are looking for a real atv in a scaled down size, spend the extra dough and go trail riding. If your little riding buddy is up for it then the little Honda is ready also. You will be amazed!!! Enjoy.

Conclusion

Runs great, easy to handle, and is very forgiving. Overall, I was very pleased with this bike and enjoy trail riding it!
I would recommend this ATV to anyone with a new/young rider.
