WHERE is the 650EX/R and the new 250 4x4? It won't even allow me to look at anything else but the 400EX. Says the 2005 Model Preview page is "unavailable." What the hell......RedGoblin is getting frustrated......

Actually, I would have been even happier if they had not even touched the plastic, but added a radiator.

yeah i would've kept the old plastic,much better than this style,i mean its good styling plastic,but exactly like the 450r.So now your going to have people on 400ex's looking like 450r's and people will think its a 450r until they race or ride it.

i didnt see a 650 either... crap! i thought this was going to be the year!!!
but, the 400ex really doesnt look that bad with the 450r nose. reverse was a smart move. the msrp went up $500, though.

i see the crf450x made it- which means e-start is not too far away from the trx450r and maybe
( i dont know yet) adapable to existing 450Rs. those of you that like to kick, hey, more power to you. but the bike would be more complete with it, IMO.

recon got restyled as with the rubicon and foreman. they got 'suv' styling and some other goodies.
