Every year Honda shows its appreciation for its employees by holding Hondaweek-a five day expo at its corporate facilities in Los Angeles that showcases some of the company's latest and greatest bikes, watercraft, and, of course, ATVs.
And this year the quad display was the coolest part of the whole shebang. Last year's release of the TRX450R made a great impression on the industry but rather than just showing off a stock one at Hondaweek, the company went the extra mile and outfitted one for racing to emulate the one Tim Farr was going to be racing in '04. We were there camera in hand to capture the race quad in pixels but as you can see, the display TRX is a far cry from the one Farr rode to gain his fifth Pro Quad Stadium Championship last week in St. Louis. Still, it does show some of the big possibilities for hopping up this market newcomer.
