2011 HONDA TRX450R (2009 model, $7649)

Honda still has enough ’09 450s that they can be offered as carry-over models. As a result, the price is right. You might even find the kickstart version, which sells for $150 less. It remains one of the strongest, best-handling machines in the 450 ranks. It doesn’t have EFI, reverse or any frills—just solid performance.
