The emotional rollercoaster I mean. Cannon owners had to deal with bankruptcy ,possibly no parts,the yfz, Rad2go,durability issues,ATK,Dinili.
Now people with money down on 450r's get to deal with, suspicious lack of delivery date,possible durabilty issues ,the yfz,hmf's dyno results,Hondas "our lips are sealed attitude",price changes.

One of my friends has already cancelled his order and gone with the yamaha and the other is going to wait and ride the old 400ex till the 450 shows up but he is pretty jumpy right now.

For now the Cannondale rollercoaster has leveled off so Honda is in the lead .

Rumor has it the suzuki has a 450 in the works but that ride is opening till next year.

 

Whaaahhaaahaaahaaa!
That's funny wistech!
Not so funny from the honda side right now. The reward of patience, gentlemen, is Patience.

 

I don't care either way, I like my Raptor and I don't plan on changing. But this Honda delay is causing people to jump ship and go for the YFZ. My buddy works parts at the Honda dealership here in Grand Forks. He told me 2 guys had money down on the first 2 450Rs to come in. Both of them pulled out when they were told the bikes may be delayed until Feb. One bought a YFZ and the other bought a Raptor.
