Guys, read the news letter under INTRO, this is from a very large honda dealer in Australia.
What do you guys think.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Is it really going to happen this time?

I e-mailed the dealership in Australia and they heard one of the guys from Honda Australia has seen it.
Be patient guys, you know Honda won't stay in last for long they just take their time and get it right the first time.

Oh yeah!?

Well I heard...... "One weekend, at bandcamp.... Johnny and Suzy ________________________"



LOL!! I'll believe it when I see it, can sit on it, and can fart on the seat!

Then we'll see how much they de-tuned it for an ATV chassis... I'm still VERY skeptical!

Don't think high performance (As high as a thumper can be) and Honda belong in the same sentance... Sure hope they prove me wrong!

Yes, Honda has been testing a new high performance sport bike.

I have been a Honda guy my whole life, but let's hope if Honda is using the 450CRF engine that they don't detune it badly for the use in a quad like Suzuki did with the 400Z engine. Honda's new bike needs to be very competetive with the new Predator. stock vs stock

I bought my Predator thinking it would be just a new toy until Honda finally release's there new sport bike, then I would trade my Predator in on it. I still have my highly modded 400ex also.

Well, I can't lie. The more I ride the Pred the more and more I like it way more than my highly modded 400ex. I'm now thinking about selling my ex and keeping the Predator and unless Honda comes out with a very impressive bike I won't be the first to buy it unless they put the 650 motor in a quad.

Not trying to knock anyone, but the Predator does offer alot. Let's just hope Honda will also with there new sport quad.
