probably because they ride brand new machines every time out and don't have to get worn out to the point that they break every race.

i run mx with my 05. no problems yet. bent my dominator axle but other than that im still good.

^^ I'm with this guy. They need a base model, and a race ready 450r thats 50 in. wide to compete with Suzuki.

There aren't going to be many updates or any at all. Honda cancelled their dealer show due to economical reasons..

Trust me I'd love to see an updated 450r but I don't think it's going to happen..

You couldn't buy a clue. Look at every class. Honda's are amazing bikes plain and simple/ Good luck finding a more reliable rave proven machine.

I heard from a neighbor who talked to a guy down the street, who talked to someone at the Post Office, that they were gonna be Fuel Injected.

ATV Action seems to think they will be. There is a test of the '09 450R in the newest issue and they make mention of the fact that the new CRF450R bikes have fuel injection and the 2010 quads probably will, as well.

I dont know much about EFI on a quad but if there anything like EFI on a car it would be a waste of Fn money!

As with any racer knows that when modding with EFI going into serious mods you have to change the EFI controller and that isnt cheap as buying $20 worth of jets to get it right it goes into buying a couple $300 controllers to see what one works best.

Carb motors IMO can simply be modded so much easier and with less money. Dont get me wrong you can get more power out of a EFI motor but you spend alot more to do it.
