Will do. Now the dealer is telling me that they will have mine next week, so I will hopefully be picking it up on the 5th of April...

Desert racer Wayne Matlock supposedly picked his up the week after the San Felipe 250. (Wayne is sponsored by American Honda)He is rumored to be racing it this weekend at the D38 national. (I think it will be out of its element there, but we will see.)

If it is I will check it out it. It will be a short race for the quads just 60 miles. He should get a good idea on how it work in the slow and tight stuff.

This is not just a worked over XR650 engine! I just noticed that this engine has a little slipper piston, just like the 450 engine does.

I would love to see this engine in a light weight SRA frame! They would have to put a different bottom end on it (currently has center-line drive)...this thing would smoke anything.

The problem I see with this machine is the weight....150 pounds heavier than a 450R. I can see how IRS would be an advantage on deeply rutted trails, and where it is rocky but not quite so bad that you need a 4X4. I can't see it for where I ride (southwest deserts), but I think it will work in some parts of the country.....

Got to wonder why they aren't getting it to the market sooner???
