Honda will probably come through eventually, but too late when all others will have 8-900cc sport quads on the showroom floor, but all the bread and butter in the market is utility bikes, if they never made another sport quad, it would'nt hurt their sales, sport quads are just a drop in the bucket on a wide scale.

Maybe I should start taking orders for 650ex modded 400's , is there a gold mine out there? Who knows.

You never know...maybe (hopefully) they'll realize how sales on 450R's have skyrocketed, and finally decide it's a good move to start listening to us legions of faithful Red Riders worldwide...

whats the need for something that huge, a 400cc is enought o kill ya if you don't know what your doing, i have no idea why snowmobiles have large engines and they have 150+ horses, but this is something totally different, i mean a 250ex can move a 330 pound guy i believe don't you think?

My bro-in-law is 280lbs. and his daughters' 250EX can move him, yes...but that's all it will do for him. My 450R can move him fast just fine, but his Bombardier DS650 is more suitable for a cow his size.

any bike can move almost any person but try getting up the steep dunes on a 250 4 stroke and you will find out very quickly why a 650 would be nice.
