Hey- Anyone know when they announced the arrival of the new 450F bike? What was the date?

Have any of the dirt bike magazines tested the CRF450R yet? When I go to the store I always leaf through the dirt bike mags, but if there was a test I missed it. This might tell us a lot about this engine. Maybe get some clues about whether it would make a good quad engine or not. This thing delivers its peak horspower (120 hp/liter!) at quite a high RPM.

One local dealership (not Chaparral) said they already have a waiting list for the first 30 they get in. I think he said they will be out next month???

 

Yah man. I was hoping that Honda would put that engine in a quad. Maybe add a bit to it. That would be kick a$$. But, like everyone else, I can't WAIT!
