ok you no how the 400 ex looks just like the 450r. well i heard that the reson y they did that is so they could keep the look of the 450r. so they can change the look of the real 450r and i guess some engine work too. the rincon is having somthing done to it as well. i no this because every model as been updated but those 2 and last year when they did that to the 450 foremans later in the fall they introduced the 500 foremans

 

No, not EVERY model except those two, the TRX90 and TRX250EX have not been updated either! Hey, maybe they will give the Rincon some real engine braking??? Electric start for the 90??? Better shocks for the 250??? But, the dealer show isn't until September, so they have lots of time. Might just be that they are slow to update the website? It sure would be great to see the manufacturers do yearly updates like the MX dirt bikes get!

Honda is making a HUGE MISTAKE always releasing their new models AFTER everybody else already has. Say Honda comes out with a 650EX, so what if everybody has already bought a Raptor 700. By the time they released the 450R, lots of folks already jumped at the YFZ. They need to wake up!

 

Hey, how about a MANUAL TRANSMISSION Rincon???

 

maybe mount the head light on the 300ex some where else

 

thats been the tradition since the day it was made. Honda will never change it.

 

I am going to put a 300ex headlight on my 400ex. It will be nice to have control of where light goes.

 

lmao

 

Does anybody have any inside info about the 450R regarding what may be done do it to maybe even have a fighting chance to hang with the new Z450? That would require serious upgrades so if it's only engine mods, then forget it because this thing sounds mean. Don't get me wrong, I would prefer to see the 450R on top, but I don't know that it's doable.

 

There are a lot of rumors about what the 450R is getting but we'll just have to wait till it comes out in September. Saying it will need serious updates to hang with the Z450 is pretty bold since the Z450 isn't out and nobody knows what it will be like. rooster
