If you had the e-mail address for the head of Honda R&D. Would you use it to write Honda about a new 450? How many of you would use it?

I'm a little concerned about posting it because if people write angry e-mails it won't help anything.
The e-mails should be intelligently written to get a positive point across. It just won't help to swear or be completely negative about the subject.

I also don't want to post it if people won't use it.

 

Why wouldn't they welcome the input of thousands of real world bike testers?? But, they are a Japanese company, and I don't think the Japanese culture takes criticism (or even advice) very well!!

 

I guess people aren't really interested in emailing Honda. I thought that there would be more of an interest because all of the threads about the subject. I guess I won't bother posting the email address.

 

because there wouldnt be no point, sorry for sounding harsh but you just have to wait and see what they are doing. they might have a new quad ready for release soon at the next show, who knows. we just have to leave them alone and let them get on with what they are doing.

 

I would tell them they're r&d department is slower than the DMV.......and their dealers suck @55!!!

 

I guess the only point would be for people to voice their opinions directly to the head of R&D. Maybe it would light a fire under Honda? There is no guarantee that Honda will release something in Sept.
Only rumors! At the very least Honda could let us know that something is coming. There is also no guarantee that any new sport quad is coming at all. Only rumors! Can one person show exact evidence about a new sport quad that isn't hearsay?

 

Honda R&D is in these forums daily. I'm not just saying that. When we go to the new model Press Introductions the engineers walk up to us and tell us they visit these forums daily.

Whatever you want to say to Honda you can say it here. Same goes for Yamaha and all the other OEMs. They're all here.

 

dbeck- Have you ever met Yoshihiro Kimura? Just wondering.

 

No. Ray may have as he normally attends the Honda intros. I've met the Yamaha, Kawasaki, Bombardier and Polaris engineers. Arctic Cat doesn't usually have their engineers at the events. I've never been to the Suzuki intros--Ray goes to those.

 

I would like to e-mail Honda. I would like to thank them for building the 100% trouble free Honda ATV's that I have purchased from one of their dealers. Let them know of the high quality products that they produce.
