yes he might be the only one sponsered by honda..but lets not forget how many other pros are gonna that 450r..you know walsh is prolly already got specs on arms and swingarm sizes and is prolly making something as we speak..dont think farr will win all the races even though that would be nice..dont forget about you points champion this year who is jerimiah jones who clinched it at southwick this year..creech has so much potential its unbelievable..and lets not forget mr doug gust..prolly if not the best all around rider out there..he might not ride red this year but lets not leave him out..and one great upcoming rizing star ..jason luburgh(spelling is off i believe)he has more potential then almost all of them..so weather the winner is on a yzf a z400 or a 450r its gonna be a hell of a season..lets make a predication right now..out of those riders listed whos winning next years gnc..i got my money on walsh...please respond if you wish..joe

i think its going to be a toss up next year. farr is on a new quad and eveyrone else will be on yfz's and have alot of time on them. we'll have to see how jeremiah can ride a 4 stroke. should be one heck of a season next year! :macho

no offence n all to jones..but i personally believe he aint gonna hit on much this season because he is used to the feel of a 2 stroke and switching from a 2 stroke is the difference between corvette and viper...sure both are sport quads and race bikes....but the 2 strokes power bands hit at different spots....i think after a season on a 4 stroke he will do good....but his first year i dont think he will hit on much this year.....just my 2 cent

You may be right?, but Jones is still fast as hell! I'm thinking Gust will be the man to beat in 04'. I can't wait till the first National next year. It's gonna be awesome!

TCracin440ex
09-29-2003, 02:55 PM
then again....jones may be like me.....i can hop on any quad and ride it like its 2nd nature to me....

TCracin440ex
09-29-2003, 02:56 PM
im racing nationals too this year...didnt get to last year my 400ex wont back together in time...but this year im either gonna race on my 400ex or get the 450r and race that

You know jones will be putting in some serious laps to get ready. I think by the time season rolls around he'll be just as good on a 4 stroke. Only time can tell.

The last time I saw a pic of Dana Creech he was coming around a corner in a TT race and he was riding a quad with a crf engine in it
And in the interview he was talking like it was his.:confused: So why would he not be used to a four stroke?? Now I'm confused.

RobRacing
09-29-2003, 05:27 PM
He was talking about jones not creech. I haven't heard that jones is switching to a thumper. Anyone know what he is riding?

rob i predict that soon there will be no pro class....because spending 25k to build a custom quad with a dirt bike motor in it...that has the same amout of ccs as the 450r and yfz 450....its kinda dumb whe nu can spend bout 8 k on a quad and make it run just as well....ne ways my opinion of the 2 smoke is....REAL MOTORS HAVE VALVES

I am thinking if the pro production class goes where it is supposed to then your right. I think that the pro production class will soon just be the pro class.

rob by the way.. i see in your signature....bout the fat boy 4 exhaust....dont get that exhaust....get TC they are better exhaust and louder....

I really don't know how to post pics either. This forum has a screwed up way of doing it.

TCracin440ex
09-29-2003, 06:28 PM
rob did u look at that exhaust??

RobRacing
09-29-2003, 06:36 PM
Yeah I checked it out. Tom's site sure isn't very complete but o-well. I will probably be giving him a call to find out how much it is. But first I need to get the quad:D

TCracin440ex
09-29-2003, 06:41 PM
soon as i get mine home im strippin her.....gettin my frame powdercoated, houser plus 3 long travel a-arms, lsr axle, douglas wheels, holeshot mx fronts, holeshot mxr rear, TC exhaust, FCR 41mm carb, that honda upgrade kit, grafix kit, hopefully quad tech will make a hood for it, a grafix kit, ac pro peg nerfs, ac front bumper, pep zps shox, tag handle bars, k&n air filter, and alot of stuff...

RobRacing
09-29-2003, 06:47 PM
I would really like to do all that to mine but I don't have the $$ to do it yet. I will be happy with stripping it down and getting the frame, swingarm and a-arms powdercoated, putting on My ITP beadlocks and holeshot MXR rear tires and front MX tires and wheels from my R, Tag T2 hanlebars from the R, the HRC kit and a TC exhuast. Later I hope to custom make some LT a-arms if I can and a custom swingarm and steering stem. Then I will throw Axis shocks all the way around it, My durablue axle should fit too.

RobRacing
09-29-2003, 06:48 PM
I forgot about the AC propeg nerfs and bumper are a must, and a new filter probably twin air or k&n.

TCracin440ex

dude i got them holeshot mxr on my 400ex dude and they hook up helllllllllla sweet....i mean the mx's hook up good but them mxrs hook up like no other

09-29-2003, 08:02 PM
I think this might be a little late, but no one has meansioned, Keith Little in that placement convo for next year...He now rides a crf 450 and has now also hooked up with ronnies, as well as me and few others...Ronnies is trying their best to get him 4 new 450r's, practice and race for tt and mx. He is supposed to be 3rd for this past season, but i am not sure...He has been riding a crf, also the same motor for the most part as the 450r, and i think he will be a good competitor for this upcoming season...

Hey TC, I just put down my deposit for my 450! Can't wait to get this thing, I will proly be getting it in January when I turn 18, but it comes in in december so I am going to have to stare at it for a while!!

TCracin440ex
09-30-2003, 06:05 PM
well my mom gave me 1 or 2 options....1 a full expense paid vacation to anywhere i wanna go....or 2...the 450r....i was like ill take the quad....n the reason ill get so much is because ill be the 1st grandchild to graduate from high school...

RobRacing
09-30-2003, 06:23 PM
ic watcha mean. I am like the 5th grandchild so I am kinda left in the pits. But o well I am still getting the quad! that's all I care about!!

TCracin440ex
09-30-2003, 06:26 PM
im praying that some of my 400ex stuff will fit on it.....so i can get the shyt cheaper...like nerf bars, front bumper, and i kno 400ex shox will fit it....and the rims n stuff like that but im hopin the 400ex a-arms are the same as the 450r...if so i can get my houser plus 3 long travels for it, and pep zps shox, n wider axle

TCracin440ex
09-30-2003, 06:28 PM
soon as my bike gets home its going on a diet....im takin the swing arm skid off, them heavy ***** stock tires, gettin some TAG handle bars, and remove the front plastics....i bet with them heavy *** tires off of it i can get the bike down to like 340

RobRacing
09-30-2003, 06:31 PM
Ya I bet so and take off the 10 pound pipe. I am prolly scrap the radiatior fan also, Timmy's bike doesn't have it and The CRF doesn't need one so i figured the quad doesen't either. I hoping my axle fits so I don't have to get another one of them. I already got my MX tire and wheel set up from my R and my handlebars. I willl end up having to buy the nerfs and bumpers and some other sh*t.

TCracin440ex
09-30-2003, 06:38 PM
im thinking of gettin those douglas shamrock beadlock rears, and just reg. front rims.....my first mods when i get it home is....EVERY THING IS COMMING OFF....im gettin the frame powercoated, im callin john houser and gettin houser a-arms, order a lsr axle, order a E brake block off, tag handle bars, new tires, TC exhaust, fcr 41mm carb, K&n air filter, the honda upgrade kit, pep zps shox...LOVE THEM PEP SHOX, grafix kit, number plates, removing the tail light (unless it is a real tail light and works when u hit the brake) if it dont wokr when u hit the brake its comming off...dude my fo fiddy R is gonna be sweet...i might get rid of that big *** handle bar cover and relocate the key..hopefully by then quad tech will make a hood for it...n ill get the hood and remove the lights...n the stock shox i take off the 450r ill put on my 400ex,

RobRacing
09-30-2003, 06:56 PM
sounds sweet. The stock shocks from the 450R will work wonders on your EX! I am just going to be rid of the key and lights and all that bs and just have the bare minimum electronics with a pro design kill switch.

TCracin440ex
09-30-2003, 06:58 PM
thats proally what imma do my 450r is gona be my full race bike ne ways so no need for head lights and head light switch...ill use my 400ex for trail ridding and goofing off....ill take the stock rims and tires off the 450r and put on my 400ex...and then buy them douglas wheels and put holeshot mxr on the rear and holeshot mx on front....

Tim farr- pro production
Jasmin Plante, Keith Little, Creech all have big potentail in pro...

10-02-2003, 03:40 PM
Jones has had fully built laeger crf450 quads and didn't like them. I know cuz i seen em race it a few times here in KY. He likes he feel of the 2 strokes a lot more. Jones will run Pro until big changes take place i think. I don't think he gives a flock about pro-prod. But with big names jumpin in he might change..

NTPRacing#19

im thinking jones will stay two stroke, he does fine on it as it is

Moto440
10-11-2003, 07:30 PM
I think Jones, Farr, or Gust all have the potential to win. I think luck has a lot to do with it. I bet Jeremiah will only ride pro. I don't think he can be gotten off that "R".

NTPRacing#19
10-11-2003, 07:47 PM
i think jones is the only rider that has pushed an R to its full limit. it shows cause he isnt any slower than any one else that are on latest technology motors

I was talking to Arnold at the southwick national. I am pretty sure thats what his name was. He is the former owner of LRD. I was talking to him when the first pro moto was racing. He told me this is Jones last year on a 2 stroke because next year he will be on a 4 stroke. Thats just what i heard from him.

Nahh not really he kind of hinted honda, but didn't say really.

I am looking forward to see what yamaha is going to do. John Natalie has been extremely fast on his YFZ in southwick at the southwick national and the nacs race.

Hard to say.. unless he is sponsored.. Jones may just go Yfz.. think about it.. he likes 2 strokes.. and which one of the 450's rides the most like a 2 stroke....

Flip of the coin.. what jones will do.. I know whatever he does he won't be far away from an R for too long.

I think Jones will take pro, and farr will take pro production, specially with so much Honda support.
