[Jersey450R]

[400excracer]

Like I said before, E-start. I'll stand behind that.

[Jersey450R]

i beleive it. but if they dont keep the kick as backup, that would be stupid move, dont ya think?

[spincr4hire]

I'm hoping for elec. start and kick back-up, I just hope they cut some fat elsewhere to keep the weight down.

[smr]

TRX450er

[sampleez]

even if they don't have a kicker backup, i bet they'll offer one like the gytr kicker kit 4 da yammi

i'm putting money of "bold new graphics" :D and maybe a new color........wait.........that's too much for one year, new color in 07 prolly :p

[nowukno]

They will have a 450R and a 450X

[MAD450r]

I hope the trx450r doesn't get estart, but I am all for another model with it. The R wouldn't be an R with e-start.

No back up kicker on the 400EX. Doesn't seem to be a problem on the ole' 400. I'd like to see a 450R with an electric start. I will still buy one even if Honda keeps it kick only.

After having the Honda guys over at my house to do a live survey, they are most likely going to have Limited Editions out this year, though I made sure to tell them that a better idea was a 650ex.

can someone post up here exactly when tomorrow (7th) when and where all of us will be able to get the anticipated news. because i'm not sure if the honda website will do it tonight at 12 AM or maybe just the dealer show is tomorrow (7th) and someone from there will take pics. any news on this will be helpfull to everyone on here.

estart would be nice, but not nessecary

the most i want to see is a more aggresive cam, thicker seat, and softer rear shock

and if its not asking to much, yellow color option

[JRDrider22]

^^^ im with him. i love the machine as is. it rips

[450 Racer R]

wasn't there talk a while back about an hrc link for the rear suspension? I can see a new suspension design in the rear to get rid of the buck. I doubt anything will change on the motor. Gearing is setup perfect 18's in my opinion, which is what most people run anyway, so I don't see any tranny changes. But like jrdrider said, the machine is perfect the way it is. besides the rear end I don't see anything that needs to be changed.

The hrc cam is already an aggresive cam. I doubt they'll put it in there stock because alot of people would want to swap it out for more low end. Maybe an hrc exhaust like gytr has.

Or maybe they'll release an EFI like Suzuki???

[trx450jason]

:D i can't wait

[sweet lou]

awesome i just can't wait!! if the yellow color is available i just go crazy!!:devil: i hrc cam on the 06 motor would't be very nice also!and i hope so for a e-start on the 06 !!:D

[Honda]

:chinese:

Your Local Dealer already has the information!

Honda always releases the information to the dealers and media the day before the public is alllowed access to it, this includes the HRC members as well.

Don't expect a lot of changes, though there will be some.

;)

[Luv2Gamble]

I was at the dealership tonite and they said that they might have on in back and they told me to wait. Then they came out and said it should be here anyday. They had me all excited for nothing and when i asked he said he didnt know of any
changes.

[400exrider0004]

Just wait for tomorrow, for the facts. Someone needs to just make a forum for the changes and nothing else so no one gets confused.

I can't wait!

they better not make a yellow! I got mine to be different

[dirtriderex]

Geeze, almost every post on this thread says E-Start. I have yet to hear someone say anything worth while reading:rolleyes:

nacsracer027 said there would be two versions, one with estart like the 450r now and one with kick that has 17" shocks, mx tires, cr500 rear link, aggressive cam? and some other things

[exrider44]

At this point I dont even care I have to much loot in my 04 to think about the 06 But either way I still love the bike as it is. I dont care for e start it Feels more manly to kick the bike over. lol :D

[MXRACER86]

So will it be on the website at 12:00 midnight tonite?

[Jonas]

No, it will be tomorrow evening after the main presentation to the dealers. I will take any pics that might interest anyone here. I'm sure that what ever will change there will be some people here that will like the changes and others that hate them.

[400exrider0004]

How are we going to find out the changes for 06?

[mispelledtatoos]

I hope they do like they did with the 250r, a big update 2 years into its life

[450 Racer R]

05 trx450r is on the www.honda.com web page. Nothing has changed yet.

[rollie]

i hope they dont put electric start on them, the reason i wanted a 450R was so i didnt have to mess with as many wires...if they only come electric start its ATK 450 for me:D
