I've heard Honda has a duel front brake rotor set up… Sounds cool…
If true, that just seems so unnecessary for MX.

I started a thread quite a while back about a KTM 450SX (notice I didn't say SXF). I still think that something like that would sell pretty well.
I sure hope the powers that be at KTM remembered my suggestion. Smile

The button is a good addition. Ktm riders have proven its worth in competition time and time again.

This guy gets it.

Whatever happens there will either be a new 350 thumper or 250 smoker in my garage by September.

I think people like to know that there is a new CRF450R coming up for sure and it isn't just BNG. There seems to be plenty of people that want to know if they should wait for it or get some other bike, so now they at least know the CRF450R is going to be something special. No dual front brake thought. There has been posts that claim (falsely) it won't be here until 2018.

I hope Honda have something really cool coming for '17, but speaking to a Honda guy who, unless he was messin with me...there didn't sound like there was that much of an update for '17. No electric start and mainly just tweaks to the unicam engine. Where as I thought the 16 was going to be the last unicam engine.

No, he asked a valid question as to what is the point in saying "its for me to know and you to find out". The question was answered.

Finally, you suggest he should have just not read it. How does one know what not to read if they dont read it? Telepathy?

"Waiting on Honda" is a religion in the off road world.
