Thought we could start a information gathering thread on it.....

I just returned from my local dealer that went to the Vegas show, and he showed me about 20 pictures of Tim's new ride. The computer they had the pictures stored on wasn't hooked to the internet, nor did it have a CD burner. I tried to let them give some copies of the pictures, or to let me put them on disk, and then email them to myself so I could "enjoy them myself" but they said no dice :mad: .....so sorry guys but I tried, and wil try again later :rolleyes: :blah:

It's sick.......and if you think the front end is kinda ugly with those lights, well some company out there already has a PERFECT solution to that.

Here is what I know:

It has a carbonfiber hood, with dual scoops already on it. they are small scoops, in place of the lights that follow the same body lines the lights do, flaring out from a triangle opening rearward to a point that mimics how the lights look on the bike. By far one of the best looking hod scoops I have seen, and gives the bike a whole new appearnce up front. From the front view it looks awesome with out the front fenders.

carbon fiber clutch cover.

Looks like Roll Designs +3 chromed LT a-arms with red anodized hiems on top, and lower arms connecting them to the spindle.

LSR? rear axle, and sprocket hub. Everything in back was polished, so I'm not sure what was stock, and what wasn't

Polished stock rear swing arm. Rear shock did look stock....

Exhaust was hard to read, but it looked like it said HRC on the side. So that maybe what the slip on will look like?

Roll designs black stem, with Renthal fat bars.

Of course PEP Lt shocks, with extra large rezzies.

Pro-peg nerfs, and standard AC front bumper (can already tell from the one pic on the net :confused2 )

Other than that it was a basically stock looking 450R..... I couldn't see anything that they may have done to the motor, or carb.

Oh and my dealer sucks at taking pictures....a lot of them were very pixelated, and dark. But they did tell me that that is Tim's bike.........so we'll see how much truth there is.

And if this topic's been posted then call me dumb, but I didn't see it from scrolling through the 8 milion other threads.:scary:

Forgot....this is the bike I'm talking about

Douglas ultimate beadlocks, Shamrock center, red anodized bead lock ring, and rolled edge on the inside. Tires are Maxxis razors.

Someone help me. I have a couple of good pics of fars bike but can't figure out how to attach them. his bike definately has an FCR carb. I concure with everything that the guy at the top said. I have a good pic of the front and it looks awsome with the fiber hood and no fenders. They are good pics so someone tell me how to post, thanks

those are some nice pics of that bike, but thats not the one hes racing this year. That is just the bike he gotintroduced on. His real bike looks so much better than that. You can also quote me on that;)

Whats up with the kick starter? is it cause its a race bike? sorry i m just getting into the quad scene. That would be the only thing i could find on that bike that i didnt like. Is that a White Brothers pipe?

That pipe is different, but they are probably going to be one of the best pipes made. Titanium and carbon (ti carbon pro), I think it's going to retail in the 800-900 range. White bros. does alot of r&d with honda. That's why Team honda chose WB to use on all of their 4-strokes.
