Rubicon gets Rincon styling and GPS option. No other changes. Still solid axle.
Foreman 400 ES gets Rincon styling.
Recon gets Rincon styling
400EX gets reverse and minor styling updates.
Could be more but still checking.

Finally Honda has a replacement for the XR400 air cooled kick start bike. The new CRF450X has electric start and liquid cooling. This is same motor type as the 450R quad so could be that an electric start version of the 450R is not too far away.

my exact thoughts! i wonder if it could be adapted to the current 450R without a bunch of BS?

To make it sportier and better handling, easier to powerslide. I'm pretty sure they added Traxlok as well. We could actually have a Vinson competitor if it's at all faster.
