Default 450R in November ATV Sport

Hey Honda loyals, check out pages 34 and 35 in the November issue of ATV Sport. Quad sure looks sharp, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] just take it easy when you see the 250R cover shot.

There are some really nice photos of some Carbon Fiber products mounted up on fine Predator too.........great article with FACTS AND DATA regarding coolent testing which lowers operating temps.

GRINS, yeah, nice cover spread on the 250Rs..........yawn.........I was more excited to see the way cool modded out Blaster with grafted on 250R 15" travel front suspension. Now only if Honda would of had the ***** to make a long travel Zero preload suspension on the new 450.......but nope. I can't think of one thing that is really cutting edge technology on that 450......I think it might have dual row bearings in the rear carrier, thats really the only thing different and "new"

WOW, that 350pv on the cover is so sweet. ATVSport is a good rag. I like that I don't have to flip past a review on 4x4's and winches. To each his own, I guess.

ATV sport RULES. the only thing dirtwheels is good for is soaking up coolant off the shop floor and same with 4 wheel action... no, 4 wheel action's not even fit to soak up coolant with.

As for the dual row bearing carrier on the 450R, sorry Heapster but it only has dual row bearings on the sprocket side. it's single row on the brake side.

if i were a honda fan i would have been happy with a CR linkage, let alone zero preload and long travel!

Actually the YFZ has double bearings on both sides.
