    not till JANUARY

    The sad thing is everyone is excited to see the new quad. Thing is nobody will hardly see one untill january. They said it will be availabe in january. Shoot that sucks yamaha announced it and then it was a not long after. I have to give props to yama. for that one. The honda dose look nice though. Is it just me or dose the frame look the same as the 400Ex? if so that is a big dissapointment for me.

    Why the 400 has one of the best frames on the newer bikes.

    tactial announcement

    I think they Announced the TRX now instead of closer to its release date because they are trying to hold on to their customers and have them wait for the TRX inistead fo going for the YFZ. Lets face it, 3-4 months is a long time to wait for a TOy that you want.

    i was really hoping for an alum. frame like cannondale. I really think it is a shame they went under. They had a good bike. I have nothing wrong with the 400ex frame ( i own one for heaven sake) I was just hoping for something that would really rock!! I agree 3-4 months for a TOY that you really want kind of sucks

    look at what day this is and think of all the people who died, 3-4 months waiting for a toy is somethin some will never get the opportunity to do

    damn knighttime, that sounds horrible.

    Back on topic though the cool thing is that though it is still steel the bike only weighs 350 lbs like the yfz, what advantage is there to aluminum if they both weigh the same thing?

    The frame is definitely lacking in travel at least. The YFZ has nearly an inch more - front and rear.
