im in eastern pa, my honda dealer told me the release was pushed back to next month.

joedirtball u work at the dam place, what the deal?

There was a fax that was sent to all of the honda dealers, I think that it was last week, saying that the release of the 450r was delayed until jan. 28th. Something about one of the suppliers couldn't match their quota, i think it was the shocks. :grr:

I've given up. When it comes out it comes out. I told my boss to tell there sales rep thanks for alot of lost sales. Stupid Honda 450 I'm stickn with my 250R or C-dale. There ain't no why to get it ready for the season.

It seems like everytime Honda comes out with a new model, its always delayed.

Yea, but when it is out it is more than likely right, you run the yammis back to the shop for a while usually. In all fairness though, the YFZ has been good so far.:cool:

True that, Honda won't ship out crap, neither will they release something they know isnt right. So just deal with it.

thats true. honda wont realese a bike that wont work.

my guess is that they were just starting to build the TTRX when yamaha realeses the YFZ and it shocked the **** out of them so they started to rush. now look what happened. a little long term testing, they find a few bugs and tell everybody with money down on the bike they have to wait.

you probably wont see too many of them this season.

I think after the summer break some of the pros will switch

[big bad beny]

Ya the Honda will be out be for you guys start eny major racing so just hold on with what you got for just a little longer. But dont give in on a yam. I know some people that are all reddy rebuilding there YFZ. The piston noked a hole in the side of the block they sade the piston is so thin they are flopping over and putting a hole in the block.


P.S. Ride Red and Ride Hard

100% CORRECT! People are looking to the YFZ and 450r as an upgrade to the 400ex and Raptor. These new machines will need top end jobs way more frequently than their predecessors.

If you want a machine that you don't need to work on much, and ride alot, buy a 400ex. If absolute HP and speed is your game, get the 450r, and be prepared to do, or pay to have frequent maintenance done in comparison to the 400ex. :cool:

I work at a honda dealership and when its ready to be realeased every dealer will get one.If it is as nice as they say you really should not need to do much.hey will be well worth the wait.Honda will not realeease them till they are perfect.I was told they are having problems with the muffler not meeting standards
