heck yeah theyd do it to honda. look at the z 400. suzuki admitted to basically copying the frame from the 400ex. they even used the same showa shocks and wheels as the 400ex. this goes on all the time in every industry. Bill Gates bought an apple computer back in the day and ordered that it be copied.
the ending result was windows 95 and the $$$$$$$$ rolled in...
businesses sometimes have a 'why reinvent the wheel?' philosophy

 

Yeah raptor 8 thanx for the input These HOnda flamers come on Yamaha and post that the 450r that prob wont come out for 8 years is gonna smoke raps an yfz. I know u guys have been waiting for 11 years but dont cream your pants

 

Again JactUp, Can't you just shut the fu*k off with your honda bashing comments?

 

If Honda had a quad ready for unveiling, I would think they would SHOW IT....not a freakin' picture....LMAO! Honda was resting on their laurels until the bomb dropped in their lap.

 

its almost as funny as to hear you people base honda's entire rep off of their sport atv. it's not like they havent been doing just nothing over there.

 

Honda didnt buy one to copy it you dip s***s. They baugh it to see what it was like and what they were competing with. You people are pathetic

 

I agree with your point.....but why, in your opinion, does it look like a YZF?

 

11 years is better than the yamaha way....16 years. Good one!

 

i was at our local honda dealer today.
my buddy works there and he said they just got the memo on the 450r tuesday...
but its the picture that we all seen.........
just a drawing........

 

Man if hona did do what you guys are saying i would just roll over and laugh then light our recon on fire and throw it throw through their corporate hq!
