We've got a 65foot double at our przctice track and ive been clearing it everyday for the last two months on my 450r. We pulled the bike apart last night and found no cracks of any kind.
There was a rumor started that the frames had been cracking on the early released 450r. Mine with a vin# 000041 still hasn't cracked. :devil:

I got it january 3. and have loved every minute of it since.
I have a deal with Honda for offroad racing XR650's and I kept bugging them about the TRX and it finally paid off. The crate showed up at CSX freight and I couldnt beleive it. But when I opened the bill it all set in.
