Dear Honda Marketing Department,

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I'M DISAPPOINTED I WAS DREAMING ON A NEW TRX450EX, WITH ONE INCH MORE ON WHEEL BASE, LIGHT WEIGHT, FAST AND POWERFUL.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT SOMEBODY WILL PREFER A 660 INSTEAD OF A 450 WITH THE SAME OR MORE POWER, AND WITH BETTER HANDLING????????, COME ON, WE DO NOT NEED A 650EX, WE, THE HONDA ATV SPORT FANS HAD A 450 LIGHTWEIGHT MOTOR TO FILL THAT FRAME.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]
JUST MY OPINION!!!

im not trying to bad mouth honda at, hell if that had been a 450 or 650, if its power and speed would be equal to that of a raptor or DS and still handle as well as a 400ex one of those would have been in my possesion for sure. If you ask me NO ONE builds an engine as good as Honda. They will take a lickin n' keep on tickin. However i dont know about the realibility of Cdale yet but damn they are appealing and i want one VERY BAD.

Something to think about-They say it takes 4 years to get a machine into production from inseption to a marketable product. So, the XR650 engine has been around what, 3 years now. So, that means we MIGHT see it by next year. Now, the CRF450 has been around maybe a year. So, we might see a 450 quad in like 2004?????
Remember, what we see new on the dealers floor, is what the manufacturer was thinking about 4 YEARS AGO!! So, all the manufacturers are always 4 YEARS BEHIND what the current customers want. That's not very reasuring!!

Well I have been a die hard honda fan since I was 7, I never REALLY liked yamaha that much or any other atv companys but let me tell you when I get sick of wrenching my R or they make 2 strokes illegal due to immisions, and it's time to buy new quad I can tell you it will NOT be a honda sport quad. Honda quit the race market back in 89' and I doubt they will get back into the BIG BOYS market. Thats just my opinion though. Zeebo.

Well...650EX uh?
Although it's sad Honda didn't come up with a big boy...they can still be confident in their 400EX.
I'm a banshee rider (read power lover), but there are 2 machines I'd change my shee for...a cannondale or a 400EX. no DS for me, I don't weight 220lbs and 6 feet tall...and I don't like the Raptor behavior over bumps...
Anyways. Let's wait and see (next year)
