Knowing Honda, their quad has been finished for months... they likely got the yfz for some private track comparisons... to push their own strengths in the media of course...they have a test facility out there in the sand somewhere, a dammm big one, according to Parker Johnstone. They still have time before intro to check a thousand things, including suspensions and other items that can be changed easily as they roll down the line. They no doubt also have a predator and a z400 out there too. All the companies do this... Honda has a unique way of developing products that goes back to Soichiro's own philosophy... that's why they may seem a bit odd at times. I think everyone will agree the Honda will have been worth waiting for.

And no, I am not pathetic, Thank you very much.

looking forward to seeing it myself. ;p

Chaparral is full of ****. There were people riding their new YFZ's on this forum before Chaparall even had a smell of a YFZ. Yamaha of Redlands had one on the floor before Chaparral. Chaparral is a joke and a rip off. Do not buy a quad from them you will pay several hundred more than at another dealer. The only thing Chaparral is good for is cute girls. They do hire some nice looking girls to work the registers and different departments. The sales people on the floor are a joke however. There was a 93 Banshee they had forsale, it was fixed up pretty nice. The had a sticker price on it that was $5800 or $6800 can't remember, one day when I was there. A week or so later I was in there with some friends trying to get a peek at the YFZ but they had not gotten any yet, the price tag was missing on the shee so we asked one then another then another about the price and got 3 different prices. None of the prices was what was posted on it the week prior.
