Default TRX450R in the Baja 1000

Honda really has some ***** to enter this bike in a desert endurance race. They really must have great confidence in this machine to take it out and ride it (with the throtle pinned) 1000 miles non-stop with the whole world watching!

It will have no chance against the rincons. See last years scandalous results.

Somebody called the Rincon team the "Cheating Chiwawas".

Notice that Kawisaki has not even mentioned the V-Force win!! You would think they would be advertising it all over the place. It is because they know it isn't real, and they don't want to be embarassed when everybody knows the truth!!

I would like the magazines to do an interview with the Cheating Chiwawas. What do they have to say?

We will see how it does at the 1000. There will be two of them racing. One with the MX guys and the other with Desert racers. I am building a DS650 for the Baja 1000 and will more than likely sell it after the race for the Honda! Looks like this years race is 1080 miles starting in Mexicali.

DezRacer-What class will you be racing??

This race is a full month before the TRX hits the dealers floors. If this bike doesn't win, or at least finish very well (it is a tribute to any machine to just finish these races!), what is that going to do to sales?? Like a said, they must be real confident about a win.

Hey recon do you know the baja racers of mex! or u are part of the WHINNING team of John G.? Here is a small comment about this.The boys from mex, have been used by JG to win in offroad races down south of the border.Just like he uses good riders out here.What seems funny now is that they cheated cause JG said so! This boy has never made a name on it's own,he's not even that great rider,he gets good riders to race with him agets all the credit.It's gonna be hard to beat the 'chihuahuas',as you call them!,in their own turf.So learn to loose a take it like a man (pinches chillones).Means WHINNERS!.later.........

Ds4baja, did you read the recent article in ATV SPORT? They gave the actual times turned in by various teams for each section of the race. There is no logical, legal way to explain the discrepancies. I am not about to go into every detail here but of most interest is that in the potential "cheating zone" of the course, the "CC’s" did nearly as well as the best dirt bikes! But thoughout the rest of the race, the "CC’s" could not come close to the times achieved by those same bikes! If rules were not broken then what do you suggest as a cause? Please do not respond without fully reading the article and understanding what those times mean. By the way, do you have ANY idea how much difference there is between an open class dirt bike and even the biggest utility ATV? Also, rather than trying to teach "recon" a second language, perhaps you should learn English well enough to put a sentence together.
