650EX

What I'm doing is actually building a custom chasis with thin wall chrommolly so I can save on the weight and building it for A class TT next year. You guys are right in saying that the light weight 450's are faster than the heavier Raptors and DS's but I still think if a guy can build a good holeshot quad for TT you have a good start. I guess I am hopeing to out do the Raptors I have built and at the same time see if there would be some interest in a big motored racer.

A beefed up chassis and brakes are what will be necesarry. But all in all- it's great to see Honda in the ring again after all this time. The lawyers really had a feild day with ATC's. A sad chapter in our history now closed. Or is the CPSC up to something again? God knows we can't take care of ourselves....

I'm sure they'll have a whole new chassis.

Hey boogerbub, when I said bles your heart on that TRX250 I was serious-- I've always stoof in awe if that quad- wish I got my hands on one back in the day. But let's all give thanks that Honda has something comparable..........
