TRX450R Honda MX Debut at Glen Helen

Why would anyone say it sucks to be Doug? He is in possibly his best position ever. Remember, for the last decade everyone else was on top-of-the-line aftermarket parts, and Doug didn't always have that. Now some of that advantage has been taken away, and Doug is on the same stuff as everyone else. There is nobody in the world better at riding through a less than perfect setup than Doug Gust. The other guys.... They've never really had to. Believe me, Doug and his Suzuki are more than capable of winning on any track.

You must not keep up with MX racing or know Doug Gust very well...:rolleyes:

I just love how people talk smack on here ...Its what you like ..opinions are like @$$holes everyone has one. If you like the yfz go for it If you like honda go for it. Just ride and have fun

That quad is amazing....i was going to sell my 1986 R for it but i decided not too....mine is to cool to pass up...plus i can't afford payments :( oh well life isnt always fair...

I'm sorry but Cain is no where near pro level still. Yeah, the man can ride, but 30 something working at dirtwheels, and you expect him to race pro cuz he still has his license??????? I'd be proud if he whooped my butt out there, or any of the old pro's. Come on guys, give him a break.

As far as TRX vs YZF, I think Yamadog prevails....:( Sorry, but I don't think it'll be a dominating force. I'm going out on a limb and I'll say they'll be 7 YFZ's in the top 10 in this years Pro GNC class. With Ironman out on top! :macho


Doug Gust is VERY capable of winning any given weekend. I think he will be a threat this year, but I don't see him defending the title. Lets face it, he finally won his title, got some respect. Will he have the same drive this year with the sponsorship? I dunno, I think he's a top five finisher at the end of the year. But, he's one hell of a racer and one hell of a guy! You'll see more Digger fans out there than anyone. Everyone just likes the guy that doesn't have the top of the line stuff, has that "farm guy" look to him, and gives it 110% every race. He's kinda like the Bill Elliot of ATV Racing.

Why is it that everytime the 450r comes out on top the YFZ riders try to find a way to make it look horrible

Cain has raced both on the same track so I'd like to here his opionion on them. I would be more likely to believe what he has to say compared to anyone else because he is the only person I've heard of to race them both on the same track.

i guess Aren's Brothers only makes stuff for the YFZ's, lol, j/k. the 450R can't be that bad if Tim Farr choose it, it won the Baja 1,000 and this guy kicked everyone on a stock 450R. personally, it can't get much better, can it? i think everyone is jumping the gun, i'm not going to run my mouth until i get it in 2 weeks and i see top pros winning or not winning. everyone just needs to chill out for a few months and see how it goes. it has had like 2 races and everyone is all over it. all you have to do it put some 18's on, tighten up the shocks, get a pipe/filter and you're good. i do agree on the HRC kit. i think it's a waste of money. you get a $2 jet, a spark arrestor/end cap, and a cam for $300. that's a waste of money for a cam. i'm getting a pipe, filter, jet and that's all it needs. maybe later retard the timing a little and put a cam in or something. other than that, i think it'll be great competition. the shocks will work great for me, i'm 5'7 at 130 pounds.

You'll be waiting longer than 2 weeks the R has been postponed till jan 28th. Get on the trx450r board under "bad news january 28" and you will see what I'm saying
