i just got off the phone with my dealer and their trucking company called them telling that it is in the whare house and is ready to be picked up. He said that they will go up to chicago tommorow or the day after at the latest. So it looks like we should have them by this weekend.

briantrx
01-27-2004, 04:33 PM
well, my dealer just said that it was supposed to be there today but the trucks were snowed in....on my way home from work i saw plenty of trucks on the highways. and besides my work did not shut down because of the snow. and we got more snow than Chicago and it is still snowing. so my dealer said that the distributors are going to try to get the trucks out tomorrow. so we will see. it has been a 2 day delay now because of the weather. this is driving me nuts almost 6 months without a quad.:mad: :mad: :mad:

Have you heard anything new brian?

briantrx
01-29-2004, 07:24 AM
my dealer put in a "special request" to the trucking company to pick it up today. so he said it will be there today but he does not know how long it will take to put the hrc kit in. hopefully i can pick it up today if the "special request" goes through (whatever that means). any other good news from you guys?

lukester720
01-29-2004, 08:27 AM
I'm hope for it to show friday or saturday.... But since my dealer doesn't know I've got no clue. It seems like the the dealer would get a tracking number or something.

Just got off the phone with M & E Honda in Bedford. The truck driver picked my Trx450r up this morning, they will have in the dealership tomorrow.

THe bad news is I'm leaving tonight to go to the Texas GNCC, won't be back until Monday. :grr:

I guess I will be riding mine monday. Its susposed to snow sunday and monday. But I love riding in the snow. Not to good for a evaluation of the new bike, but good for me. The wait will be over. :cool:

This is briantrx's fiance. It's nice he tells you guys before he tells me!! :D I'm so thrilled, because since he sold his 250R he has broken the taillight on my Raptor and gotten it stuck in our pond (thru the ice.) So now he can play on his own toys!!!!! :blah:

ok, just got it home. i have only rode it at the dealer in the lot, because of too much snow. but so far it is awsume!!!! sounds great with the kit put in it. feels lighter that my old 400ex, well at least easier to load in my truck. looks cool with a new honda red, it's brighter than the old red. seat is comfortable.
i will have pictures up later tonight.
hope you guys get yours soon, definately worth the wait.

Illinois does not have one

granticimo
01-29-2004, 09:01 PM
Are you sure? Chicago is the place that they have been coming from for most of us here in the middle. Surely somebody has one in IL.

My buddy bought one im Merriville, IN. He could not take it today they wanted one day to show it:mad: But we checked it out anyway. There must have been 15 people come in to see it in the little time we were there. He will pick it up tomorrow:D Talked to Thomas Honda and they too had one on the floor. So I would think B&E Honda ( Valpo) would have one too. We will send some pics when we get them.

Talked to a dealer in Noblesville, getting one 450R in today, 2 more on February 9th. Said he has the first 4 sold.

Talked to another dealer (secret), said has one coming in in the next day or two. Said no waiting list, it is first come first Served!

I am going to get mine from Dreyer Honda. My Family and I Been dealing with them for like 25 Years. Anyone in Indy looking for a good dealer Call Dreyer Honda and ask for Scott.

Oh Yea, They sell Yamaha to, for all those fools needin a YFZ.

Scott's the man.

Bought my 400ex off of him in 98 and got an xr50 last fall

Yep! Scott alway's takes good care of his customers.

No B.S., No Pressure, Honest and Calls you when he says he will. They won't deal much down there, but you will get good service and respect.

theres no greater feeling then loading your brand new quad in the back of the truck. I couldnt stop looking in the rear view mirror until i got home!!!!!

the posts are remindin me of when i got my yfz.. just remember how new she looks it will be a couple of rides before the plastics are scuffed and scratched to hell

Picked up the R today. Got to ride it just a little behind the dealership and on the road in front of the house. Nice!!!! Starts on the first kick, and the speed is there. No disappointment here.

I heard that they are selling the 450's at the honda/harley place in Michigan City. A buddy of mine works there and one of them is sold and they already have like 2 more i guess.

briantrx
02-04-2004, 07:57 PM
i was at the michigan city dealer on monday and they had three of them there, and the first one was sold. and the others are going for retail. good thing i already have mine:D

Rode it for about 3 hours today has tons of power, handles great. The front end didn't feel as light to me as so said it is. This quad is definately not a disapointment!
