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

Honda has been working on this bike for 3 years.. They have the bugs worked out. Suzuki rushed it and payed the price. This bike is a work of art! I would love to pick one up for the track.

Honda is the only manufacturer that is moving this sport forward this year. They have proven that what wins on Sunday means shit on Monday. They sell more bikes than any other mcf for a reason.

How the hell can they engineer and produce a completely new bike like this and sell it for $7499 at a profit?

The answer. They can't.

Thank you Honda for keeping the sport of motocross moving forward for the average working man. Talk about buying a cheap factory works bike. Fuck the claiming rule. Buy a Honda!

I was a 2 stroke hold out..... the 09 KX450 peaked my interest to make the switch over to the 4 stroke. After seeing this work of art all I can say is WOW I have to have one. I think this is as revolutionary as the 97 CR250R.... I cant wait to get Stateside!!!!

Unless you (or anyone) are going the same speed on the last lap you are as the first lap the bike isn't going to matter IMO.

Very cool. Inovation and evolutiuon rule. I don't get some of you guys though. If it wasn't for inovation we would be riding drum break twin shock air cooled metal tank sleds. I can't wait to see where the other big 4 give us in the next couple years.

Average working man? Hello- Honda has been at the forefront of the destruction of the 2 stroke, which is the best engine for the average working man. Thank Honda my ass.

It's not like I'm really pulling for one brand. I currently have a Honda, Yamaha, KTM, and Suzuki/Kawasaki in the garage, and over the years have owned more Honda's than the other brands. They make good bikes, but don't think they've got the average working man's best interest in mind- they don't.
