I visited my Local Honda dealer and overheard him tell some guy that Honda will be releasing a Honda 650 Forman ES (electronic Shift) in late 2000 as a 2001 model, He said that they will be using the powerplant from the very successful dual sport bike the XR650L and the trans from the very popular Foreman 450ES. It will have an additional 88lbs over the current 450ES. Has anyone seen anything about this? I figured I would have heard about it from ATVconnection first? Grizzly better move over. What a combination, Grizzly power & Honda reliablity!!!
