Default 450R Delayed....Honda falling behind already...

The following was just released from Honda: The initial December release of the TRX450R will be postponed until February, due to a production delay at one of Honda's parts suppliers. As a result, the initial release of one unit per dealer, will now be around February 1st. Honda is expecting to have production back on track by the end of February.

Looks like Honda is already falling behind....LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

if that aint thr truth before me then i dont know what is! that also goes to show what decisions they make for their motorsports dept. ever heard of their cars being delayed because of "parts suppliers"? heck no. by the timer they might actually satisfy a motosports customer, they wont have many left. honda is being left in the dust at the start line.

well.. if it ever does make it to the dealers i supose that it might not be a bad machine.. honda has made some of the best race quads out there.. 250r and the 400 ex kinda ruled their time.. the new 450 may do the same...

Im with you on that hozed the 400ex was the thing to have a few years ago when it first came out and a bunch of people are still racing and riding 250rs and look how old they are.
