I am planning on getting a new sport quad in the first part of the new year and wondered if Honda has anything ruhmored to be coming out that is bigger than the 400ex or the 450R. I am about 6' 3" tall so I was hoping for a something to compete with the raptor. I had a 400ex but got rid of it for my Banshee. EX was nice but way under powered in my opinion. I don't spend much time on the Honda forum but would love to see that XR650 motor in a quad.

Thanks.

 

from what i hear the 450r DOES compete wih the raptor, but i know what you mean, it would be cool maybe a TRX 650 would be nice, just dont hink honda has that really big sport fever like Yamaha.

 

I am growing old waiting for Honda to come out with a 650EX!

I bought a Z400 waiting for them to come out with the 450R. I bought a 450R, waiting for them to come out with the 650. You get the picture.......

 

I wish there were rumors of a 650EX in the works but unfortunately the rumor mill is dead for the big bore Honda...................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

I had pics posted in my page, but took them of. It was made by H bomb films ( I think). and they used it for the baja 1000 race. Awesome machine.

 

Don't hold your breath. Honda is seriously out of touch with the market. They might make a TRX650EX someday, but if they do, it will be a little too late, IMO. I am 6' 6", 230, and the Raptor has plenty of power to haul me around with just a slip-on exhaust. I thought about getting a YFZ450, but it's just too cramped for people 6' 2" or taller. The Raptor is laid out like an LT500R. IOW, it's comfy and has lots of room.
