Suddenly the "big year" for Honda isn't looking too big after all. In fact, it's looking downright small. What happened to the 650EX/R and a new 250 4X4? I've got a bone to pick with knowsalot for confirming "more than one all-new model." Unless there's still hope that new releases will happen later on, we've been lied to by mags and "insiders." I'm thoroughly disappointed in Honda if they don't have anymore tricks up their sleeve. We need someone in Honda R&D with some cojones to step up and get Honda's head out of their @$$. Someone to tell them they are losing sales because of offering mostly inferior products compared to Suzuki, Kawasaki and Yamaha. If, by the weekend, there's nothing else worthwhile released, I'm going to send a "spirited" e-mail to the R&D department at Honda. Feel free to vent with me, but at least give them a few more days because the dealer show is still going on.

we can only hope. the 05 TRX400 wasnt all i thought it would be. reverse is nice, though it weights 10 pounds more, i actually thought itd weigh like 360...seeing as the 450R is 350. oh well, the 650R would really put honda right up there with the raptor...

 

Redgoblin- the 250 4x4 is a no-go.. huh? Well that just bites. I know you were looking forward to its arrival. All the talk on this forum lead alot of people to believe new things were coming from Honda.. What a dissapointment!!

 

I don't know if Honda is done releasing models. According to that info that was released awhile back about Honda's meeting EPA emission standards, they have 2 more models to release. I only see 5 released and that info said there were 7 new models coming. rooster

 

ya so when can we expect them?

 

KNOWSALOT!!!!!!

 

wouldnt a 250 4x4 be just a lil underpowered? i mean cuz 250s really dont have all that much power as is now add 4x4 to it, dont get pissed at this i wuz just wondering

 

I must agree that honda just upset more people than pleased them with the new releases. I know I will move on to probably the yamaha 450 kodiak with independant sus for the wife. I was hoping for mid size atv with traxlock and independant sus. I do not understand what they are thinking.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

there thinking how bout we **** off ppl the first night and the second or third release it when they dont expect it b/c it will be kool! hopefully! but doubt it...
