    Some Of You....

    it seems as i read these posts i get the feeling some of you are slightly let down also about the top speed, the truth of the matter is Honda is going for another machine to dominate the racing industry remember when the Tecate and 250R came out the 250R wasn't the fasted stock bike the Tecate had that but which one is still the leading engine and over all design still dominating today? the 250 not becuz it was the fastest stock but becuz of how well built it was. now this time around place the Yamaha yzf in Tecate's shoes and put the TRX450 in the 250R's shoes and we'll see if History will hopefully (which im pretty confident it will) Repeat itself. im actually gitty to say the least the look is growing on my rapidly the idea of starring at a brand new Honda sport quad with Liquid Cooling...i need to change my pants now.

    funny

    Its funny how people hope the other brand bombs just so they feel good about picking the WINNER.
    It's almost like NASCAR fans massively flocking over to number 24 when he started winning.

    DOnt mean to ruffle any feather because they do it over on the bluetraxx too.

    Ahhh, new quads on the market and the brnad wars that go with it. GOOD TIMES!!!


    As for being cheaper. i'm spending almost 7000 grand. screw the extra 400. doesnt make that big of a difference. Honda had less of a re-tool to do so that why they can offer it cheaper.

    I hope Honda doesn't sell many off them ! Yamaha should get the sales cause they listen to the public and build many different machines for different likes! honda has screwed us again!

    Piss off Honda !

    I myself have a 88 tecate 4 I honestly can say I never had any major problems with this machine. . It is faster than the 250r but it lacked in the handling catagory. On paper the best way to build a 250cc performance bike was to have a Tecate motor and have the 250r chassis. Now If Kawi had 4 years of development Im sure it would have been good. I also heard that Kawasaki planning on building there own version of the 450cc not a joint venture like the KX250f/rmz250 that is a Kawasaki framed suzuki powered bike. I hope to see Kawasaki BUild there own (design) 450cc MX bike and Quad Im sure it would be good. Anyone else have any info on a Kawasaki 450cc in the future ?
