2004 Honda Dirt Bike reviews

Starts today like it did 20 years ago. Comfort is based off age and height. If youre buying a supersport for the comfort, youre doing it wrong. Home maintenance is easy for any weekend warriro. Only part that failed was the kill switch! Show less

This is my first bike im 6'2 190 pounds and this thing carrys me more than well, only compliant is a couple bolts snapped maybe from over torque but other than that solid machine. She starts first kick and have decent top speed for engine size Show less

If you own one, your lucky!! Don't get rid of it. I have a 2004 R model with 95,000 miles on her. Noisy as hell warming up but she runs like glass after. Driveshaft makes for very little bike vibration I generally drive five to ten mph over the speed limit. Once I had to pass a line of cars on hwy 95 in Nevada and after getting by them I looked at the speedometer and I was at 120. Took two seconds to attain it. Very smooth amazing bike. Show less

I never really liked Hondas until I had this one. It is amazing, the power is just unbeatable and overall is a great bike. I rarely ever have to adjust the valves on it and the feel of it feels great. I think this bike is a total buy. Show less

I've owned this bike for three years and it's been amazing. I added the Corbin saddle to an already comfortable bike and long trips are a blast. The only thing I might otherwise add are a set of handlebar risers and a cheap cruise for a break every once in a while, because with the large tank you don't have to stop very often. I've never had any problems other than those that were operator induced (dropping it in the garage!). My wife loves it as well and is fairly comfortable on the back; only thing more comfy would be a Gold Wing or similar on long trips, but they can't do what this will in any other situation. Last year I put 18,500 miles on it because of a long commute and I couldn't be happier with the low maintenance that this bike requires, even being chain driven. I use Royal Purple oil and have found that to work best overall in extreme highs and lows (Corpus Christi, TX and Amarillo, TX -100+ to 20 degrees - far too cold to be riding). I get about 42 miles a gallon on average and about 45-48 if it's all highway. I could see how this bike could get uncomfortable for the legs of a taller person. This bike will truly do it all and everyone who has ridden mine definitely agrees that this bike is an awesome ride. Downside: insurance companies classify it as a sport bike. Show less

Very nice bike. Handles great in the turns. Gets you in and out. I have a little over 100 hours with the stock valves and the bike runs %100. It's a really nice bike if you maintain it well. If not, you should stick with a 2 stroke cause these things get expensive. In my opinion, I like the Honda the best out of all the other 250fs. I've ridden all and this is a great bike. If you're looking to buy one now, make sure it has new valves etc. Show less

From when I first started it, I knew I loved the bike. I clicked it into 1st and was overwhelmed with the power. This bike's power is really ridiculous. The bottom hit is crazy and in 2nd and 3rd the wheel comes up. The bike is just way too much for me, I can accelerate so hard it's unbelievable. It still pulls through the top and really strong, even more than my CR125! Whoever says 250s don't have much useable power is a liar. This rips so hard. The suspension is stiff but plush at the same time, soaks up the roughest. And it turns on a dime, point and ride. When I bought it, I was scared because I thought it would have been too heavy but was I wrong. It's so light and flickable it's unreal. No specific starting method; just kick, rev and ride. I love this bike. I am gonna have it for a loooooong time. Show less

I have owned this exceptional bike for four years now and it is still my favorite. I have only had two problems. One was an electrical recall, and the other was my left fork seal busted. Other than that the bike has been perfect. It is great for long rides and great in the curves. My Interceptor and I have spent many days at the Dragon's Tail in Tennessee/North Carolina (318 curves in 11 miles). I would recommend this bike to anyone. 17,500 miles and counting! Show less

I just bought a used 2004 CBR600RR and wow, am I glad I did. I just sold my 99 Yamaha FZR600 which I was very happy with but wanted something newer. I was sure I was going to get a 02 R6 but found the CBR at a good price. Wow, wow, wow. I picked it up two hours away from home and rode it back at night in 35 degree weather. The highway ride was awesome. This bike performs and performs well. My wrist was a bit sore by the end of the ride and maybe it could use a more comfortable aftermarket seat, but I do not regret switching to Honda. Most of my friends have Yamaha and they haven't seen my CBR yet. Let the competition begin! Show less

Last year I swapped a Suzuki Katana 600 for a 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 750, looking for a smoother, more relaxed riding style. However, I wasn't happy with the power or the vibration. So I recently traded the Vulcan in on a 2004 GL1800 in Titanium. WOW! This is the bike I have been looking for. It has the power and handling of a big, bad sport bike, the ride of a BMW 7 Series, and the bags and trunk to carry a weekend's worth of stuff along. I could never get my wife to go more than 5 or 10 miles on my other bikes, because they hurt her butt. Not so on the 'Wing. She LOVES that seat! If you ever get the chance to ride a GL1800, take it. But, don't be surprised if you find yourself figuring out how to get yourself a Gold Wing! Have owned CB350; KZ750; KZ900; KZ1000; GS-L1100; GSX600R; VN750 and now this GL1800. This is by far the best ride I have ever owned. Show less
