I'm trying to remember when the TRX90 was redesigned and went to electric start - either for 2005 or 2006. I think it was '06.
While that is a good price and the TRX90 is a great kids bike, I'd make sure that you got one of the newer models with electric start. Basically the pull start is just a pain.

Thanks for the info.
That's the nice thing about a 4-stroke and a real 4-speed transmission. Plenty of power to pull an adult up hills, much less a kid. Out TRX90 can go on any trail that our 4x4's can travel on. The weak link on the Honda 90 as a trail bike is getting high centered due to the low ground clearence.

The 2006 models were the first with the electric start. I bought one for my son back last October and it's been quite an enjoyable little atv. The only maintenance I have done is change the oil and lubed the chain with one chain adjustment. It starts easily and runs smoothly with plenty of power, even with the throttle speed screw turned in. I have clocked it at 40mph with a GPS with said screw run all the way out.
In my opinion, you can't beat the Honda 90 engine's reliability.
I'm glad I opted for the 06 with the electric start as I would have yanked my arm off by now as much as my son rides!

My son rides me behind him around my place and although there are no large hills, it pulls both of us up the inclines here with no problem. First gear is pretty low and the 40 mph top speed I got was on a longggggg flat stretch. Took a while to get there. Ideally just expect betwwen 35 and 40 which is plenty fast on that thing.
My son follows me around when we do go out and he pulls all the hills we go up in 2nd or 3rd and that's with the throttle screw run in about half way. If I screw it out all the way, he tends to get a little spirited around the house on it.
Both of us together weigh 240 and like I said...it pulls us just fine.

Sir,
Honda TRX-90 is as perfect of an little ATV that is out there for dependability and fun. Others are good, but the Honda is fun for longer w/ less maintanance. SEADAWG

Sir,
I'm 6'2", 238lbs and that TRX climded hills with me on it that were decent in size...and had plenty left. It can climb and I'm sure if you need more power, they have sh___loads of aftermarket toys that will help. SEADAWG

Thats what I was hoping to hear. I know the ground clearance is always going to be a problem on these little machines, but the low end torq is what I am most worried about. My son is getting pretty good at picking his lines and straddeling the ruts, but I dont like when he has to go blasting at a hill at top speed just so he can have a chance of making it to the top. We've got his modded 50 going much better on the top end, but the bottom is still not where i'd like it to be.
There may be a new TRX 90 in the stable soon!
Thanks for the input.

I am buying my daughter a 4 wheeler for Christmas. I was going to wait and get her the new kfx 90. I went by the local dealer today to see if they had any in yet. They didn't but he said he had two new 2005 TRX 90's one red one yellow that were on sale for $2149.00 + tax. I had previously rulled out the trx because of price but I think this is a very good deal. Should I jump on this or wait for the KFX. Only thing is Christmas is 5 months away. I have a place to store it but wondering about warranty and what not if it doesn't get used.

thanks but the wife has already told me I have to wait to give it to her even if we get it now. Santa has to bring it. I am going to keep it in my Uncle's metal storage building. I can just go by once a month at let it run for a few minutes.

Just talked to another dealership. They have the 06 in Black for 2399.00. I think I am going with the 06 Black model.
