I never understood the whole rear fender sidepanel combo. I replace my side panels way more often than the rear fender...

The exhaust header looks a little different too - like it drops down after the cylinder, sort of like the KTMs. Still has a kickstarter...

Header looks like it's gonna take a beating out there...

Couldn't they have spent 26 yen more and installed black rims on that beeyitch?


Seriously, needs black rimmage. Word.

Yeah, black rims would have been nice.

WTF is up with that rear fender crap? KTM came up with that ugly ass thing and Honda did the same?

Black rims look awful after a few scratches. Look nice new though.

That thing looks afugginmazing. Love that they got rid of the brown coating on the clutch/ignition cases. Exhaust setup is cool. Don't understand the airbox setup yet but the 15mm steeper front end and long swingarm is the berries. I would love to have one of these things.

I think i am going to wait for the 2010 . I predict they will be having some issues with this model. The radiator hose on the backside of the pipe looks like it is gonna melt .

I knew that question would be the first thing I'd see today. I have an e-mail in with Honda, to see if I can get an answer to that one.

Did Suzuki test the 08 450 within an inch of it's life? We know how that worked out.

What an incredible looking design. They really swung for the fences. Can't wait to see how it works. I love the look. I have to imagine the weight is way down.

Someone is going to make a mint selling some type of headpipe guard for it though....

That's the first thing I thought about - protecting that header.

A little disappointed the 250F isn't as radical....but there's always next year ;-)

If u look close enough, the sidpanels and fender AREN'T connected. It just looks that way cause of the white color. It all looks like it blends in, but it really doesn't.

You guys are checking out the large versions of the photos, right? The wallpapers might be particularly useful. No need to squint at the mid-sized ones. Smile

the short resevior for the shock is odd looking, the pipe in front of the frame is odd too, you'd think you would want to protect it best you can and you would think if you dont 'have' to wrap it around the front, why would you.

finally they went back to a black mud guard under the airbox. i cant tell you how quickly my white ones look like crap!

with the white side\rear, i can see TJ or One ind. doing a throw-back of mcgrath's graphics from '96, pre-twin spar since color schemes are similar.

i like it.

Looks thin. Very narrow. I like the design, its gonna look pretty out there on the track.

I like the software that comes with it. Sadly I dont want to know how much it costs...
