Alright, wait a minute.

I am a major Honda fan, but they haven't made a sport quad that I want yet (had a 400EX). This might be it.

But, this press release isn't very official. It's not on the Honda site, it can't be found on Google, or Yahoo business. If I could go to the Honda website and see it officially posted there, then I'm satisfied.

If it's true, then I might just own one.

But, Intel perfected the art of the press release. I can't remember which exact chips, but AMD ships their chips, and the day after, Intel puts out a press release that they are bringing a new chip twice as fast, on the latest technology out to the masses. But Intel doesn't actually deliver it for a year, and it totally screws over AMD's product release.

It's good to hear that some dealers are taking pre-orders, but until I see an official press release, my $100 is in my pocket.....

 

As with the auto industry in recent years the manufacturers have released artist renderings prior to the actual unveiling. It's process that has occured with the Raptor(as mentioned) Suzuki Z-400, even the V-Force. This falls in line with the protocol they used with the release of the 400ex. Years of speculation, sneak peek in August, unveiling in September, full test by October, my 400EX paid off in November.....just in time to buy the 450R. Just like clockwork and if things go like when the 400ex came out, then I'll need to get one quick cause the last time they had to ship them from Canada cause they couldn't keep em on the lot, and the Canadian ones had reflector tabs you had to remove from the frame, what a pain. (No offence.) However if by some chance in hell it turns out to be a dog, I'll be getting the YFZ. The YFZ would just have to be significantly better though.

 

It would look nice looking in blue but too raptor looking.

 

my honda dealer called me up today, said he got a fax from honda corp. saying that their new 450 would be released at the dealer show. Take it for what its worth.

 

OK dezracer if you know all about it what kind of frame dose it have?

 

rennym,

That is the official press release. If I posted it...its official. We'll be testing the new machine soon.

 

You got that right. Got an up close look at Korys YFZ at Glen Helen this weekend and it's got new suspension all the way around, A arms etc. Bead lock rims. Many other items that are not stock. For the serious racers there will never be a race ready quad from the factory. jmo

 

Pechmial,

We have a winner!! I bet my wife no one would even notice. She is a big Ray Bradbury fan. I on the other hand am a Trekkie. Live long and prosper.

Put $100 down on my 2nd 450R today. One for me, one for sale.

 

Not Aluminum!

 

OK you do know, sorry about not believing you I was thinking you were someone else that's on another site that keep's saying he seen it and that it's alum.
