my god that's heavy.

 

i went to www.honda.com and it dosent have it on there

 

I don't think your going to find it on Honda's site until Sept 10th. They might hint at something new when the date gets closer but for now we have a dealer's bulletin which means it isn't meant for the public to know.

I thought the CRF motor was lighter than the YFZ motor. I thought Honda claimed something like the entire CRF450 motor only weighs 55 pounds.

I just checked both web site and both manufacturers claim a dry wieght of 222 pounds for each bike so I'm thinking the engines are pretty close in wieght although the Honda has an aluminum frame and the YZF has a steel frame so I guess the YZF motor could be a little lighter but I thought the CRF was supposed to be the lightest engine in it's class. But what do I know anyways......lol?

 

i just want to see a pic of it

 

yeah i did didnt it.the dvx400.same plastic,and similar lights.

 

where in NY do ya live ? i saw a pic finaly. i does look kind like a clone

 

where did you see a pic? I would like to see it too if possible.

 

ill guaruntee that the new honda will kick major *** becuz the 400ex is aircooled but it is still one of the best mx bikes around and then u have the 250r which IS the best mx bike around just figured i 'd set the record straight

 

OK- but the 400ex is slow... They could shave off the weight easily!! Just take away the extra wheel, the A-arms, the extra sub-frame, the extra plastics, etc. Trikes Rock!
