Honda XR400R (2003)

Perfect trail machine - typical Honda dependability. It may not be the lightest trail bike in the pack or have the latest dirtbike technology, but the XRs are super easy to modify and easy to repair. It's a true thumper with plenty of tractable power to get the job done very well. Like others, I'd consider the XR400 very hard to part with and would probably end up being the last bike I'd get rid of, if the time ever came.
