My buddy is waiting on one and I think I'm more excited than he is. I can hardly wait until it gets here.

I race a 2015 CRF450 but I do have a CR500 and a RM250 in the garage, so your assumption is sort of correct.....I rarely race the 2 strokes though only in VMX events

Not that I have an issue with my Honda air forks :-)

Has anyone heard more details about the "second shipment?" I've heard May. I've heard "at least thirty days." And I've heard "any time."

And that's working at a dealer. So curious what everyone else is hearing!

My dad is 54 and I finally got him to get off his money and get one of these.

He got the call and his is in stock. He's picking it up tomorrow. Smile

I have a 2015 150SX and I cannot wait to hand him his ass while he's on such a sweet bike!

Pics coming soon!

Take it easy on the old man. My son hands me my ass all the time, but I remind him of the old cliche "I brought you into this world, I'll can also take you out." Wink

Just got the call from my dealer and mine is in too. I'll be picking it up Friday. I've always been a Honda guy but making the switch. Have to admit I'm pretty excited!

Grinning Grinning That's perfect. No he gets around pretty damn good and not just for his age. He just has always rode my suspension and we are vastly different amounts of muscle and chub! Laughing I'm trying to get him to set up his shocks this year properly and see what he can do.

Update:
He just left to get the bike a few hours ago. I will be sitting on one shortly. Factory 54 year old.

Picked up mine today! After my wife kicked it out of the living room, I put about 20min on it in my back yard. Compared to 14 factory edition it feels much different. More comfortable, noticeably lighter feel, and much more aggressive feel on small jumps and flat turns(all I got in back yard). Glad I spent the money. Planning on going to track tomorrow evening but got a good feeling about it

Do you have to buy new number plates? making a already expensive bike even more expensive? Nah i doubt it, surely they come off easy?

That does annoy me actually. I wish they included them as a decal that was optional to put on instead of putting it on so I can peel it off. Or buy new plastic which isn't available yet...
