TRX450R Honda MX Debut at Glen Helen

sorry i ment race with it not race it and with the a arms and stem i will know when i deside to buy a 450r and no one knows for sure if they do or dont its all numbers and blahh and everyone one will know when its done like u can take lone star a arms for a 250r and put them on a 400ex by changing some spacers but i dont think i will have a 450r anytime soon because its cheaper to put my yzf426 motor into the bike its just i dont feel like turning my dirt bike into a pedal bike lol but i still think the best way is to take your 400ex move some motor mounts and put a 450 motor in save some cash get more power then a 450 and kick some ***** and really i dont give a wooohooo what brand or color my bike is if i can win on it who gives a flock


o yeah im not trying to flame its just the facts talk is cheap and i might be wrong but just what i was told and as for the dude who said he knows for a fact they dont fit did u go up to the bike and check or did a frend of a friend of a friend tell ya just asking not talkin *****

I know what parts will and won't fit because I build frames, stems, a-arms etc for a living. (Check the thread about a new CRF / EX frame) The name of my company is Arens Bros Inc. On this bike I know what the differences are because we have already had our hands on one. There won't be any major parts (and hardly any minor ones) swapping over.

Ride400exj - I think it's a pretty safe bet that of all the people talking about what they think they know about the not yet released 450r, that Mr. Arens is the last person you want to argue with, since he actually KNOWS what he's talking about. Being in his line of work, he has had more exposure to this thing than almost anyone else would have, and I would listen carefully to the facts he decides to divulge about the new Honda.

Jnine we deeply appreciate the input!!! Hats off to you guys for all you've done to atv racing over the yrs

Ride400exj,

I think I"ll trust ride400exj's buddie's friends cousins uncles buddy's opinion over John Arens...:huh

:rolleyes:

Being a honda dealer for over 40 years i have been there since the first atc/us 90 which i still have today.The atv sport thing was nearly dead till honda realeased the 400ex and look whats happening now to our sport.Thank you MR Honda.As far as kick starting a bike goes if you cant start it you cant ride it.I weigh 128 pounds and i have no problems starting my crf 450 quad starts first kick every time.I have been riding three and four wheelers since 1969 and will ride till my number is up.Yamaha has very nice bikes as well as suzuki and all the other brands that are out there.If no one came out with a bigger and badder quad where would we be thanks to that we have what we have today fast and awesome good handling quads.Honda has dominated sice day one and will dominate for many years to come.I do not care what you ride as long as you ride................Chris

"they should call it a trx450ex"

^This is all bull****! Maybe when i pick up my 450R ill tell the dealer that the quad sucks, because its not different enough. You know, i was expecting wings, or a jet engine so i can fly to the riding area. bull****, what else do you want them to change?

Aluminum frame?...why? its already the lightest quad on the market, keep the list price low!

Geometry? Why would there be a snowballs chance in hell that they would change the geometry very much?

Ill tell you some things we have that are NEW, a liquid cooled motor, kickstart, WEIGHT, shocks with rebound, comp adj!


Honda had it down pat way before yamaha did, thats why all yamahas bikes are so different. It will be an interesting year

Three hours and thirty some minutes later the yamaha finally crossed the finish line at the baja....
Need not say the yamaha was tricked out and the honda engine was stock except for a pipe wheels and rims and a large ims gas tank.............................................. ...............

well put, sparky
