2012 Honda FourTrax Recon (TRX250TM)
Big where you need it, not where you don't.
You don't need a sledgehammer to hang a picture, and that same philosophy applies to ATVs. So we built the Recon, a powerful ATV with a smaller footprint. Equipped with a 250cc-class engine, this 2WD workhorse delivers seamless, reliable power right when you need it. Its compact size helps you tackle those tighter trails some larger ATVs may struggle with. So if you’re looking for a hard-working, hard-playing ATV with a smaller stature, look no further than the Recon.

Features
All
Electric Shift Program (ESP) - Flicking between gears should always be this easy. With Honda's unique ESP system, up- and downshifting is as simple and fast as pushing one of two handlebar-mounted buttons. ESP is also a bonus when riding in heavy or mud/snow-covered boots.
Semi-Dry-Sump Engine Design - Compact and lighter-weight, the Recon's semi-dry sump and overhead valve designs create an engine that's not only shorter from top to bottom, but one that enhances handling by lowering the center of gravity while increasing ground clearance as well.

Shaft Final Drive
Uniquely Designed Floorboards: Both the Recon and Recon ES have uniquely designed floorboards, which allow the rider's feet to grip the footrests while keeping away mud and debris.
Steel Cargo Racks: Front and rear steel cargo racks allow payloads of 33 and 66 pounds, respectively.
LED Taillight and Brakelight: LED taillight and brakelight for durable, long-lasting lighting.
