Default Boo to Honda

I for one am disappointed that there is no 650ex released. When are they going to get their heads out of their butts. Whoop de do, 400ex looks terrible and reverse for and extra $500? Man I have been loyal, but I won't be buying anything new from Honda until they remove etheir head from their posterior. I like my older Hondas and my 400ex has been reliable, but where is the flash and glitz, the flagship sport quad that all have been waiting for? Yamaha is kicking their butts, in choices and variations. I am very disappointed with the total lack of innovation. I remeber the total dominance they had on 3 wheels, what happened to them? Are they too scared of getting sued again? If they cannot run with the big dogs then they need to stay on the porch!

I say a loud BOOOOOOOOO!

If this 650ex or R is being tested, why take so long to introduce it or release it?
Sorry to vent, but I wanted more and was expecting something good! I also think their utilities are ugly and where is the real big bore ute? The Rincon is a light weight and ugly, so they make the Rubicon ugly also? I am speechless!

Maybe they're planning a late surprise release to set the industry on it's ear??

They would have been better off and more competitive to keep the 400EX the way it was with the $5299 MSRP. Gear ratio changes? I thought the 400EXs tranny was perfect! They should have done that to the 450R not the 400EX. Also, the 400EX don't need to look like a 450R cause IT AIN"T NO 450R. Do the engineers even ride quads?................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Can anyone post a link where the new lineup can be seen online? I went to both Honda Canada and Honda USA and they still have the old machines there ..

The 400ex is the same price as the Z400 now. IMO, the only way Honda could justify asking the same money for the 400ex is putting the performance level on par with the Z400.

Isn't there two days left of the show? Im still hoping, but I am feeling a litttle bummed right now. And the 400ex should NOT have R plastic on it and the price is way to steep. I like quads that are unique, that is what I dont like about the yamaha's, most of them look the same.

Yah im quite dissapointed too, honda needs to give out less vacation days to their employees. Whats with the 400ex looking like the 450r? Thats just plain lazy that honda couldnt design something different. Honda better step it up in the near future or ill be riding with different colors.
