Lot of talk in the Honda forum about people getting them finally. Anyone see one in action yet? Can't wait to race them at the dunes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

If they get beat down, like they surely will, it will take a few weeks for any reports to start rolling in. A few people had them, and , no race reports yet [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Plus, I think there's alot of stunned 450R riders out there that just got their Honda biased dirtrags and are holed up in their houses with a really sick feeling right about now.
Ha ha ha, that outstanding!! Right on Ridley!

They need to get broke in first before anyone will race one. Very few people have them right now & those who do just recently got one. They need time to brake them in.

When the YFZ's first showed up at St Anthony dunes, they were getting chased down by everyone including me who wanted to line 'em up. And all of them were happy to oblige, and kick our butts. Everywhere you looked there was a YFZ spankin' somebody.

Now, I wonder what the scenario will be with the R's, if they will be heading up the hills or sitting on the side because they're not "broke in" yet...........
