Has anyone asked their dealer whether the option will be available to order the 450R, from the factory, with the HRC kit already installed?

dealer told me that they (the dealer) would install it for $150, plus $300 to buy it. they said the kit would come in the same time the quad gets here.

Hell my dealer didnt even know what the TRX450R was when I went to takl about it with them. "Hey...any information on the 450R yet?" (5 days after announcment) "The what?" "...TRX450R? Released in december?" "Are you sure thats honda." "Yes...do you have any 400ex's in stock?" "...Maybe in the warehouse" "k..." "You have to be 16 to ride one" "I am 16..." "Great! So wheres your parents"

I just checked, it still says January. We know it's coming out in December though because too many dealers say they are expecting them.

I heard they were going to bump the date up to sometime this month,but the dealer still tells me he will have 5 of them by the first of december.1 will have the race package installed from the factory before he gets it.

Don't you want to try it both ways so you can see the difference and let the rest of us know if it's worth the money?

I don't think I'm buying one,That is a #one that will come with the race package.The dealer tells me he is getting one of five with the race package.I'm going to buy a new bike or a real good used one.

what does the race package include? exhuast and what else? and will they jet it too? i did not even know they offered a race package. that would be nice but i have always had better luck with aftermarket stuff for one reason, more for your money. honda stuff is arm and an leg. it just like the fox jerseys, the ones with honda written on them are like 10-15 dollars higher than the ones that just say fox on them. i know honda good stuff but you can sometimes get a better deal do aftermarket stuff but if i buy a race package then they might include that in the warrenty through honda. i been thinking about the extended warrenty just because this is the first year for honda to make the 450R and i would hate to get screwed if 6 months to a year the bike starts to have problems with the motor and if i had bought the extended warrenty, i could just take it back. i figured the warrenty would cost about 400 since it is new. the warrenty lets you ride hard and not worry about anything. but if you go through and get after market parts you will probably void your warrenty through honda if you do it. so i might buy one with a race package so i can get the extended warrenty.

HRC hasn't offered race components for a quad since the days of the 250R (86-89). Be glad that Honda even considered making a racing quad, and backs it with factory-endorsed racing support and racing aftermarket components to boot !!!

The HRC kit includes a cam, jet kit, jetting and pipe (according to the mags) for $350, with a dealer install of $100. If this is true, that is pretty amazing...

Who says Honda stuff is expensive??? Try having a Honda and a Yami and then buying parts for both!!!! My Honda parts were usually half the price of the Rappy parts!!! And Yamaha will bend you over if you need new plastics!!! I think the race package sounds like a killer deal, and from what I understand it was Honda's intention to make sure it was affordable for people to get, too.

I was at the dealer that I ordered mine from on Saturday. He showed me the paperwork that said the release date from Honda was moved up to November 20th on all ATV's except the 450R.

The 450R was still scheduled to be released on December 8th. He told me he should have mine by December 10th.

I believe dealer cost is 5,649.00.

they are getting the 450R this month. well i will have to wait to see that. i would not hold your breath. i talked to my dealer yesterday and he did not know anything besides it was a honda bike. i was looking to buy the bike and all i wanted was a price. he could not even give the price on the bike. it just make me mad that the honda shop doesnt even know when they are coming in or how much i am going to have to pay for it. i want a deal on one. i am trying to get it for less than 6 grand. i have heard 5700 was the cheapest anyone is getting it for. i was told 5800 the other day and know they cant even tell me that. i think they were playing games with me. i hate games!
