[B]Anyway, Cain proved to me that the TRX450R was very competitive off the showroom floor by finishing the 1st Moto in 2nd Place and Winning the last Moto in the 30+ Class. In its first MX race against a class full of modified Fourstroke Quads, The TRX450R was Victorous! That was Impressive! For the Record, Cain Smead also won the 30+ Intermediate Class in Round 6 on a YFZ450. He is a very talented racer.

In the last moto did he get any better of a start than he did on the first moto?

well i raced with the 450r and hell i have a video of it racing around the track i wasnt happy at all with how it was pulled off the line by my bike a 426ex and i spanked it. i thought it was sad i placed 2nd in 250-400 4 stk int but i have been told that the honda wont wake up like the YZf with the sparks pipe and cam but with the honda it wakes up like a 400ex with about 3 Hp yzfs with a sparks pipe and cam mod the thing is like riding a live bull and the 450r i love honda but i still think i wont buy that bike because NOTHING ON THE FRAME has changed and well the 01 frame i have has cracked everywere im sure they havnt changed the frame and from my looking and i have been told from alot of pros in AZ and other pros i cant name them but the arms and shocks from a 400ex WILL fit the stearing stem will to swingarm is still the same

well i might get flamed from this but if u think im full of it i will have a clip of the 450r riding soon and it wasnt that great

just my two cents and check the glenhelen.com for the full list of points and how everyone finished

Glad to see an honest post. I don't care what color the bike is, I'm not a cheerleader for any brand, and facts are facts, regardless of any assumed of misplaced loyalty. One correction though... The A-arms will NOT fit from the 400EX or any other bike. The spacing is different, and it is not something that can be shimmed either. It's an all new build. I know this for a fact since I have the dimensions. Also, the stem WILL NOT transfer over either, and neither will the swingarm.

Also - I race in Arizona, and I don't know any pro's in AZ that have even sat on a 450r..........
