Motorcycledaily.com has info on the new Honda XR400R; liquid cooled, elec. start, aluminum frame. Will Honda's commitment to market domination carry over to an aluminum framed, liquid cooled 400EX?? We can only hope!

I hope so! Then they will compete with Cannondale, Suzuki, and Yamaha's liquid cooled 400cc racers. Go Honda!!

 

the liquid cooled EX will be here 2 years after the new XR400R is...2004 or so

 

I would look for a 650ex liquid to be next. Based on the 650 liquid dirt bike. I would bet my 400EX on it!

 

650EX in 2002 or so.. well, thats what the honda dealar in tokoyo japan said (friend is in the navy and stationed in japan)

 

JRM did your friends say if the 650EX will have electric start (I am sure that it would) and an aluminum frame? Did they mention any other future ATV's coming from the industry leader? Thanks for the info.

P.S. I noticed that you are from Sandy, where to you ride?
