Stock frame and revalved shocks wins Baja:huh

:muscle: :bandit:

That is pretty impressive winning the first time out and on stock bodied shocks. Man that thing just looks fast. Cant wait to get on one.
Now it is going to seem like an eternity until it is released on December 8th.

And everyone was saying that there was no way the shocks could be as good as the yammi's w/ an inch less travel!

Don't forget that it also had stock a-arms, swingarm, and tie rods. Who ever said that it had revalved shocks?

I'll admit that as a TRX250R owner I was a little concerned about maybe how good the 450R really is....but this race just proved to me that theres absolutely no doubt this will be an awesome bike when its released.

First and fourth overall in its class, pretty good. And to boot they beat the past 2 year winner of the 1000 who came in 2nd.

This is awsome. I knew the Honda 45R was going to perfrom well at the Baja 1000, awsome bike it will be when it comes out. I had no dought at any time that the 450R was going to be a awsome performer. Ryan

wow, big surprise considering it is such an inferior machine on paper to the YFZ :rolleyes: They did what Honda does best.....win races. Did you guys expect anything different??? ;)

well there is no douting it now,,
it had good riders but it also performed...

good enough for me now i just cant wait until they call me and tell me to come get mine
