They said the noise level with the HRC kit was 95db and it still retained the spark arrestor. So those of you aking about sound level there you go.
The article here seemed a little more objective than the one in Dirtwheels. One thing they said about the HRC kit was "While not the machine-transforming can-o'-whoop-*** that opening up a YFZ450 is, the kit is still a solid addition to an already-solid machine." Also they said "So is this the succssor to the legendary 250R? Defineately. Is it a decade and a hald better? Nope."
They did say that "Handleing is every bit as magical as with its predecessors" and "your mom could kickstart this machine."
They really liked the brakes and said it has good power "while mostly on top, is a decently friendly spread that allows plenty of room for error"
Just thought you boys (and girls) would like some more objective thoughts on the unit. Ditrwheels just raved about the whole thing. They said "It literally will stop on a dime and give you nine cents change." and "We predict that Honda Sportrax 450R riders will be outbrakeing fellow competitors quite regularly."
They made a couple of comparisins to the YFZ where they said, "Compared to the YFZ450, The TRX450R feels like it has teh lighter of the two front ends."
