Default Are the 450R's at dealers?

I talked with my Honda dealer today. They are still hearing a "release" date of January 28th.

All I know is that it won't be soon enough. I've tossed around the idea of losing my $100 deposit and going with the YFZ. I have a feeling the YFZ is going to be slightly faster, but I think the 450R is going to be a better all around quad. I'm third on the list at my dealer so it may be late February before I get mine.

I am really curious how it is going to compare to a 440ex? hmmmmm............

Wish I would have never sold my 440. Never broke down, low to mid 40's hp and had great suspension. It beat corked YFZ's in 100 yard drags with ease. $6000 was to hard to say no to though. I'm more upset that there is no E-start on the 450R than the fact that it is late. I'm a duner now, I want some features.

Your deposit should be fully refundable if you decide not to purchase, unless your state law clearly states otherwise...

Beech,

Did a normal consumer get that bike or was it a drop shipment for aftermarket shop or a sponsered rider?

I'm over in Phoenix and I've got the 1st one at my dealer and ALL the dealers here in town are still clueless. I work for Trader Publishing [ie Cycle Trader] so I am around the dealers alot and would get the info as soon as they know.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beech, Do you know or did you hear who received the 450R from your dealer?

What dealer is it?

no idea who got it. The dealer is just a local guy. He has the next 10 sold already!
