My ex-dealer (I now ride Kawasaki) sent me this link, he's a cheeky bugger
http://www.honda2017.com/2017-honda-crf450r/
He said he wants me to preorder one like I did with the KXF (I ordered one without riding it). lol.
I wrote back and said so whats my sponsorship package first before I even consider your request! And by the way the KXF is pretty damn good. lol

nice looking bike looks like HRC are putting the work in
The Shop
still, not really excited for that bike. look at them new huskies and ktms. japan has to do a bit more than a electric start.
They're great bikes don't get me wrong but shitting all over Honda based on a couple of pictures before you have any idea what suspension, engine and chassis upgrades they've made is a bit off base. There's obviously major changes on this bike, how about you ride one then get back to us.
all i said that I'm not excited for it because as of now, it looks like it will 'only' catch up to the likes of ktm/ husky (if at all) and not actually taking it a step further and push the envelope for all the other manufacturers. this is my point of view and now have a cup of tea and relax man...
Anyway, got an update from the dealer, now offering me a free bike! lol I said well I am waiting to see what comes out from Suzuki for 2017 as well... gee he is desperate to get me back on Honda, mind you helped I won a lot when on them
Pit Row
You put a expert or pro rider on the Honda and it probably wont win against other stock bikes. You put a beginner or intermediate rider on the Honda and chances are it will. Go figure. For all the angst over its 'lack' of HP or its twin exhausts it is a damn good bike.
I don't think pro-racing should have the same threshold as what we are meant to run... Every other pinnacle of motorsport is noisy as.
Aftermarket and the mfgs should be forced to sell to the public at 90db or close too it. It has to happen at some point...especially with how four-stroke noise travels.
I love honda also, but I just don't see the two exhaust situation....
Flame on.....
