We didn't "improve" it.

Anyone have firsthand experience with the '09 vs. the '08 CRF450? Not a big secret that Windham doesn't like the new bike. Pay attention and you'll see privateers riding '08s.

Anyone notice in the ad the riders foot is almost on top of the cylinder? Like a foot away from the footpeg that he should be weighting for the turn

Here we go again...

EFi sux, carb rules, carb sux, Efi rules, Yamaha sux, no Yamaha rules, Zook rules, now Zook is bad? Honda sux, or was it the opposite? If any rider on team Honda have issues I'm sure the bike is NOT to blame.

What happened to MC opinion that said that finally the new 450 turns like his old 93!!! Should we bring that up when it suite us in the future? Or just dismiss that?

Stew would win on the CRF, the or any bike. He would probably win on a KX250. The 09 might just be different, I agree to that. But the potential is huge. Maybe the privateers have spare parts, experience and organization suited for the old sted? But have we gone over the bike blame era by now?

I just think it was the wrong choice of words for a TV commercial.

New bikes every year is kinda over rated. Let the rider become comfortable with the bike.

I often find when I look at pictures of me riding my feet come up off of the pegs quite a bit, never notice it. And be sure to tell Ivan to weight that peg, I'm sure he'll be eager to take riding tips from you. You'll be his ticket to beating bubba.
