SKDA with the holeshot for those of you with 25-26 bikes who like the look. Even have all red or red/black versions: I really like the new look with their tweaks. 

 

262 Blue HRC Progressive CRCRF MOCK 70509

 

262 Black HRC Progressive CRCRF MOCK 83602

 

262 Red HRC Progressive CRCRF MOCK 58400

All 3 look fantastic.

Does no one remember the 80's when Hondas came with blue seats, fork gators and had plenty of blue in the graphics? I like it way better than the current model looks wise. 

Those Hondas were 100% the coolest bikes on the track back then.

Just working through this content and the bike sounds really good. The changes seem like they would work for someone like me who has never really been a Honda guy.

1 side note that I came across (not to derail the thread) is Josh Mosiman is no longer at MXA? He wasn't on their test video for this bike and after watching a few of the vids on this bike, a suggest video from Hold Fast Media came up and he was on there. Interesting.

Mosiman made a post on Instagram that he left MXA.  He started something new called "Hold Fast Media".

Did anyone of testers find anything negative from new bike yet? First impressions always say its best and better than old model but later they find problems on rougher tracks like new gen Yamaha 23-. Talking about Yamaha -23 and problems im little worried about new clutch design on soft sand, Yamaha had weak spring and oil flow that killed clutch, I hope Honda has done more testing to get it right

Gotta admit I was wrong about the looks of the factory Hondas by adding blue to the seat and red to the rear fender really makes these bikes look good….almost Troy Lee like.

Honda had blue seats waaay before TLD. I’m thinking about my blue seat 83 CR250, with the kicker on the wrong damn side! Needs Gold wheels to pull off the Blue.

I know that…my point was that they have taken some styling cues from the Troy Lee bikes by using the blue on side of the seats red on top and adding a red stripe on the blue rear fender…very similar to the TL Gas Gas bikes…IMG 0241 3.jpeg?VersionId=25STf5sxrPPVnx

Honda needed to make their name parallel like GasGas. Having it slope up like that looks off.

The factory bike has grown on me and actually looks good considering what they are going for. The production bike on the other hand just looks like someone quit their job halfway through designing it. Huge miss for what looks to be an incredible bike. And a huge miss for the first build with this new look.

Just think, in 2-3 years time, they'll be bagging this bike, as they do now with the previous generation.  Snore with these bullshit 'tests'.

I did this on my phone so bare with me but…

having at least one part of the design share the colors would make it look like less of a patch job and more intentional
