My uncle has a deposit on one and was finally given an out the door price of $10,664 and sometime around Thanksgiving. He about shit himself. He called around to quite a few places getting quotes and the least expensive he found one out the door was $10,658, 6 hours away and they wouldn't have them until December.

Hey Michael, did Honda say whether or not you have to remove the kickstarter if you are putting the electric start on?

I pretty much agree with that. Although I do not car for the Suzuki much. Just don't feel comfortable on them. It doesn't help that it feels small and under powered compared to my yz haha.

Got confirmation that i will get it 2nd week December. In Australia.
Have to wait till march for electric start kit to show up though
Any news if the 2016 wheels fit?

I'd say based on this picture that there will be different wheel spacers (the 2017 swingarm is tighter). Since the chain-guide mount is the same distance off the center line of the bike, there wont be the same issue 2012 to 2013 had with the chain location being moved. I remember people bolting the 2012-previous wheels to the 2013 and the chain coming off because of the offset - doesnt seem to be the case here. But I see a need for different wheel spacers IF the drawing is accurate.

Do all countries in Europe have it standard or just some such as Italy or England? That could be based off that distributor's request or order, but their MSRP will be higher than what the standard model would be.

My local Honda dealer said E start was standard so I presumed the whole of Europe was getting it to.

The E start is included in Finland, but the battery is not a part of the E start kit. A lithium ion battery is around 100€.

And the bike is exactly as expensive as the KTM 450, 9690€.

Damn dude. Someone is being taken advantage of. I received a quote last week from my dealer for the '17 CRF450R for $8200.00 out the door. That doesn't include electric start. I understand this is less than msrp. They sell me bikes for $150.00 over their cost, but even without that the bike shouldn't cost what your uncle is being quoted.

He finally got ahold of some that's giving him a "deal" at $9500 otd. That's with a hook up. At that price I'd buy a KTM but that's just me.
