That bike looks whip ass. A black seat and red rear fender would make it extremely whip ass.

Pretty funny about taste, pretty pointless to argue. But despite that the bike looks bling and expensive and signals exclusivity with all the aftermarket stuff which part of me digs, it doesn't please my taste at all. To many colours, even 3 diff shades of red. But since it's a matter of taste I guess no one is right.

A stock CRF450 is way better looking for me, the less colors the better, maybe gold or black rims but it's enough. Clean makes me tic!

By the way, I'm right and you are wrong here! Smile

I'm guessing its aluminum that's been polished.

EDIT: Sorry , didn't realize this was already answered.

EDIT 2: And I need my eyes checked... Another read through the thread and I see it was answered 3 other times...

Why not use carbon fibre? Much lighter and you don't want extra weight that high?

I honestly don't see cabron fiber being much lighter.... And I bet theyre' already pushing the minimum weight limits with that bike if he's really getting full factory support (pretty sure he is).

Another thing I recall is that aluminum is thinner and allows for more capacity (more fuel).... someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Seems that way to me. Obviously the aluminum tank adds some bling as well.

Tank's different (bigger, aluminum, and heat wrapped)

Graphics are different (more orange near the tank now and less red on swingarm and fork guards

Other than that looks pretty much the same as the Vegas bike. Two Two wrapper with a sweet factory filling.

Its interesting to see how much more red the bike is when he picked up the factory parts. Probably terms for the factory parts.... Chad, we will give you the hydro clutch, suspension, motor, etc.... BUT you need to ride a RED bike, not that white stuff. I would assume that was no sweat off anyones back. Bike looks great, he probably has to use the white rear fender/red shrouds etc to keep the Honda big-wigs happy.

Looks good I really hope he can run with poto this year on that thing.
Though i suspect it will be him, metty and dungey racing for second.
