Some of us knew enough to make an MXer out of an RX (which also has the right engine hangers). Swap out the left peg mount and the kick-stand boss is gone. A 19" rear wheel, if you must, $500 for a real nice one. There were no less than 2 lengthy threads right here at Vital...some with complete explanations of "how & why"; but, I digress...
As for price? I lined up bikes for $9K (or less) for friends when they came out. That's for an RX: ELECTRIC and KICK, stock. For $9K...ALLLLLLLLL DAY!
How's that math?
Let's continue, shall we?
Left R foot-peg mount is about $16 at Babbit's.
19" Rear Wheel is $450.
Tire, tube, locks is $150 on a bad day.
Let's say I have to have the Ti Tank: $775 with R/shrouds/"cover" & fasteners.
So, that's a bike that's already got BOTH starters: $9K
Goodies to make it "Rish": $1,391
$10,391
And now you've got 2 rear-wheels, a big tank and kickstand for off-road/trail-riding and a spare rear-wheel...too!
So, there's my "bullshit". There's nowhere to get your sub-frame? That's a bummer. I'd have someone fix the one you've got; but, that's probably just more bullshit, right?
So, you guys stay angry if you must. All my friends, that listened, got the RX: not a single one of'em is bitching. In-fact, I've recently been asked to go find a '17 for a friend that realized the '18 RX had no kicker...
Go figure.
Btw, the bike,pictured in my previous post is an RX...at an MX track...on a day when a Canadian, on another BOX STOCK RX, went out and shredded whilst a Russian on an HRC CRF-RCF couldn't catch him...
So, again, I'm thinking the RX is just fine for the track.

"Parts for the '17 haven't been a problem for my friends that have '17s."
You responded with page of shit you've done to your RX. I don't give a shit what pegs or wheels you bought. Your statement is bullshit, false, not true, garbage, a fib, a white lie, a typical liberal deflection. Most OEM parts for the 17 are on backorder. It is a fact.
I look forward to your three page response on the flooring you have in your house, or whatever....because you are obviously not getting the point.
Again, I digress...
Oh, btw...
I -wrote in- John Kasich; because, I thought it would be nice to have a decent human-being in the Whitehouse. Thanks for the political accusations and foolish rhetoric. It had the folks in the office laughing. My assistant pointed to a picture of Raegan on the wall and laughed out,"What a dumb-ass! Where does the Internet find these clowns?"
Anyhoooo...again...none of my friends had a problem with parts for their '17 CRFs.
I still say, "Honda ain't screwin' ya."
You are.

Thank you for your recent online order.
This e-mail is being sent to you in regards to order #1420799, a recent online order that you have placed with us. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has contacted us in regards to this order, as this order contains one part that is on a nationwide back order with the manufacturer. The part that is back ordered is as follows with the estimated release date:
50200-MKE-A00 FRAME, RR ESTIMATED RELEASE DATE MARCH 05
Please be aware that this is a nation wide back order with the manufacturer. If you do not find this part in stock with another dealer, they will have to order this part and it will be on back order with them also. You may cancel your back order with us; by doing so you will remove yourself from the back order waiting list. Ordering with another company that places this on back order will move you to the end of the waiting list.
We do apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact a representative on our Customer Support line at (231) 737-4542.
Let's look back...take a look at the STUPID SHIT you've said and have called me...all because YOU DID NOT COMPREHEND EXACTLY WHAT I SAID.
1. Never said you lied about your sub-frame.
2. Never called you ANYTHING until you started acting like an ass. A COMPLETE ASS. TANTRUM...etc., etc. ...
3. You need to stop and think: there are people around here that might have a line on the part you need...do ya think they're gonna reach out to a key-board warrior talking complete shit about an ENTIRE COMPANY & its intent...
Just because you can't get your sub-frame...yet...?
As for the '18s being out in 2 months? We'll see.
Wouldn't you be PISSED if someone reading this coulda gotten you a sub-frame?
1. Truth hurts sometimes.
2. There are two cheeks on an ass, and you are right between them.
3. It was Honda’s statement reference the 18’s out in July, not mine.
4. I’m a key-board warrior talking complete shit about and ENTIRE COMPANY & its intent? By your reaction it’s obvious you wear Honda undies to bed, and I’ve shattered your safe space. If the company’s intent is to deter repeat purchases by failing to make parts available for several months….Well, you are succeeding!
5. Speaking facts about a company’s lack of support for its patrons is not shit….it’s simply truth. Honda can choose to ignore or acknowledge it. Just as I can choose to buy another Honda….or not.
6. I have every right to let others know facts when people like you post your biased crap.
7. Now go back to your office, look at the picture of the President you have hanging there, and learn how to spell his name correctly.
8. I’m done responding to you after this….as you are clearly just an oxygen thief who won’t own up.
Checked on your sub-frame and it gets worse: 1st week of July.
I don't wear Honda stuff; but, I do appreciate them pushing the '17 out the door after the earthquake and all that...also, I -REALLY- dig the RX.
As for false claims, the way you attempt to rewrite what was said...etc. ...
You remind me of Hillary: a truly false narrative and a fall-back position based on indentity politics.
Your sub-frame seems to be the SINGLE "sniveling event" in here: did you EVEN BOTHER TO -READ- the other posts from GUYS THAT HAVE GOTTEN THEIR PARTS?
No, you didn't. Did you, angry little man...?
I hope your part isn't on the list of those currently getting pushed out until July. Btw, there are some great fabricators in the Southland that fix sub-frames all day.
So, now...I'm gonna go get on the Zook and do some laps. Cole says, "Hi!"...And I'll bet the guys over at the big white truck have that sub-frame...but...never-mind all that. Why wound anyone wanna help a drama queen that simply whines like a Kardashian on the web...?
See you at the track...or not...

Anyways, my uncle (who bleeds red) has a 17 CRF450R and loves it. We just told him about the 18's a few days ago and he was pretty freaking bummed, which I understand. I also understand why some feel that Honda screwed them. Now, I've never been a huge Honda and I'm still not, but I understand Honda getting the 17 out and putting the updates and all that on the 18 only a few months later. Can't be mad at them for that at all.
Btw, there are still new '17 RXs out there. I found a couple today in MO.
