Yes, I remember the last big announcement....hand wrinhing went on for months around here for the final word......250ex!!! WHat a let-down. Most likely, I think we will see a 400ex will get a small power boost and maybe some new exciting graphics. Less likely is a 600 or 650cc version of a larger and heavier sport offering. Even less likely (almost non-existant) is the 450cc engine in a very detuned form in basically a 400ex chassis that is lengthened and widened 1 inch. Let the hand wringing and pacing begin!!!

I know you just don't like me Gary [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] --- not sure exactly what your problem is, but it really doesn't matter much to me - I don't post on these forums to try to get Gary to be my friend...
I lurk in the shadows and see your posts all the time, your wonderful attitude shines thru quite often whether you realize it or not.
No need to argue the subject either - I know what I know, you have this strange fasination that Honda whipped together a quad it a couple weeks to present to the world in order to "fend off Yamaha" (Honda has such a long history of whipping together crappy products in response to other manufacturer and all) --- you know as well as I do that there is no way for either of us to "Prove" our points, even if so - who really cares? Two excellent quads are suddenly being made available and things are looking good for the future with factories sponsoring riders...
By the way, you appear to be the master of predictions, Gary -- WAY TO GO! LOL - I like the spin [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] -- are you sure you aren't a political campaign manager?

In my opinion....Honda will never bolt the high strung 450 into a quads chassis. Honda is WAAAAAAY too conservative for such tactics.600-650cc engine in a quad frame? I would say thats much more of a possibility. This will most-likely require a larger/taller quad to handle the power output and accomodate the larger engine dimensions. It will certainly be a de-tuned version of the dirt bike motor (I believe the 650 DYNO's at 42hp?).Most likely option.....a hopped up 400ex engine with 10-15% more power than the existing engine and no other changes.

(taking a bow and waiving)...thank you. I could never be associated with a politician.....if I paid any more in taxes I would start hunting them down! I think you want me too be your friend and it ticks you off too get resistance. J/K! Later gentlemen.
