i hope the 400ex a-arms will fit the 450r, it sure would save a lot of money when people stared modden their quads. it looks like it will from the pics (it really looks just like a 400ex frame to me). anyone heard anything on this issue?

 

everybody say they do so Id say yes

 

if i ever get around to buying a another new quad, i'm sure it will be the honda 450r or the yzf450. the choice will be a honda as long as my $800 dollar a-arms will bolt up to it. i know they want fit the yamaha. i hope the new honda turns out to be a real beast like the yamaha. also, all my bead locks fit the honda bolt patterns. so, a-arms + beadlocks = honda for me, if i by one and i don't think i would buy the first year model either. i'm sure yamaha will be out with a true 450 next year since atva raised the cc limit to 450.

 

How the hell would anyone know? we can only speculate from the pics.

 

good choice to wait. I doubt there will be anything seriously wrong with the Honda, but just in case there is is buying next year seems like the best decision to me. Plus, even if the Honda is faster or more powerful this year it may not be if Yamaha bumps theirs up to 450

 

Just for your information the ATVA has not raised the limit to 450 yet. If it does get raised , the date for that meeting is the 1st weekend in Oct. It is only raised to 450 in the production class. The 4-stroke class is still at 440cc.
