Its offical,honda has conjured a replacement for the 250r,the TRX450R for more info go to www.dirtwheelsmag.com.its race ready and has the crf450 engine in it as many have predicted.it also has a sketch of the beast too.enjoy!!!

 

Get ready to be ripped. This is old news.

 

oh well,it brings up the number of posts ive made.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]i wonder how much it will cost??Any guesses people??the exhaust wont even have cleared from the delivery truck before i own the first one at my dealer.

 

your screename fits you well lol just playin

 

it will probley ether be right with the yfz on the price, or a little cheaper.
and it will probley beable to barly beat the yfz.

kc

 

cost will be $6399

 

I was told $6899 by the Honda rep. Where did you get your info from? I like your price better than mine.

 

And if you are looking for electric start or reverse, you'd better look elsewhere. After some weekend snooping I was able to uncover this, nothing on the aluminum frame though. It also appears that one of the aftermarket suspension manufacturers already has one, but I don't want to ROLL over on anyone.
The electric start will be an accessory kit, or they may make an EX version for the people who want it.
I don't even know why there is any question as to weather the 450 has a kick starter. The EX acronym was added after the non-elec. start 250X became the 300EX. Then there was the 400EX and now the 450R!? If they ditch the starter, battery and run an aluminum frame, we're looking at 335lbs. (Just an estimate)

 

does your amount of post make you a bigger man?

 

It better have electric start as an option at the very least. I'm a KTM dirt bike owner and let me tell you how many non e-start thumpers they sell. It's not about what's better for a motocross quad, it's about selling the most quads, like it or not. After the first year, Honda could go in two directions; A mx only quad and a cross country quad. Cannondale did it and Yamaha, KTM and Honda [in 04-05] so it with their bikes. Please, no "that's why Cannondale went out of biz" comments.

JayceKarl10,

Don't want to ROLL on anyone, lol but there is another. Month's ago another builder [I won't mention their name] had a mule cloaked in 400ex plastic. I won't say where they are located but for those of you who think it's Texas, you're wrong. It's definitely not in the LONE STAR state.
