DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY DATA ON THE NEW TRX450R? I RODE MY BROTHERS CRF450R THIS WEEKEND, THAT IS A WIDOW MAKER. TOP END ABOUT 102 MPH. I FIGURE WITH THAT ENGINE THE NEW HONDA WILL SMOKE RAPPY'S. ANY INFO WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

 

You could go to the honda web site

 

I did, it just shows it with the engine specs. It doesn't really give any information on it. I was hoping to catch a shoot out between it and some of the heavy weights in the market. Man after riding that CRF450R, it is scary to think what that thing will be able to do. I would have to believe that it would eat a ZYF450 and a Rappy.

 

well appearently the YFZ can hang with or even pull on the Rappy... and this Honda has 11 more Cc's and a larger carb than the YFZ.... you I know who I'd place my bet on....

plus, you know the Honda is probably gonna handle better, and definately be more dependable

 

The yamaha is probley going to have a faster top speed. who cares.

 

hey there honda guys and gals.............don't jump to conclusions, just cause Yamaha screwed the pooch on the first raptors, doesn't mean they don't have their ducks all in a row on the YFZ. Plus if they eant they can just re-sleeve the YFZ up to a true 450cc easily(HA!),

It also doesn't look like the honda has as good of suspension setup as the yamaha either plus it has less travel, but we shall all see soon................

 

And to that, you can put the 480 kit on the new TRX that I believe will be the fastest production/mod quad ever built. Even the Zilla wouldn't be able to touch that. But we will see. Either way, the YFZ is a bad rail. Truthfully, I have never heard anything bad about it. The guys that have them swear by them.

 

yes, the ones that have the YFZ's will swear by them, and the honda people will swear by red, but that is all the fun..........I just want to see a shootout, NOW!

 

I have a 03 TRX400EX, and I swear by it, even at stock. Nobody embarasses me when I am out. sure there are quads that have better top end, but for trail riding and even some moto-X, it can hang with anything out there. Plus most of it's power is useable, where as like the Banshee and the Rappy, you cant' handle the thing when you are getting on it.

 

Ah, I remember my 400. I swore by it too as I could out man other big bore quads. The only thing I couldn't forgive was the power drop when that 400 started to heat up. I have never owned a liquid cooled 4-stroker and I hope when I get that freakin 450r that engine will stay cooler than the 400ex (and scare my pants off)!
