It looks like a mash-up between a vintage Honda with the black engine and the fork boots and a modern bike with the graphics package. I stick by it would work better with a full mid-80’s look with the fork boots.

The twin silencers have a function. 500’s always have a long ass pipe, with a lot of snaked around expansion chamber as well as a silencer that sticks out almost as far as a 2002 CRF450 Silencer. It’s needed for the 500’s power band. The twin silencers tuck in very nicely and if tuned well, eliminates the fender-length silencer.

Okay captain obvious... the classic “David Bailey” replica was offered years ago directly from Service Honda as an option and has been done on many Honda’s over the years. I’m talking about THIS 2017 or newer version. Besides, just because it’s been done many times before, doesn’t mean it can’t be done again, or that we can’t like it.

Great looking bike! The fork boots over the fork legs even have grown on me now as I check it out. Love the black engine with the red frame. I would love to see it in vintage Honda orangy-Red with a Blue Seat, Yellow Backgrounds and Gold Rims. Then would it be the ultimate 500AF!

Should have added in the State of Utah and the University of Utah for Person of the year. They really stepped up in to being able to have the continuation of a SX season in 2020
This poll might actually show how short our memories are... no question that Zacho had an outstanding outdoor season and deserves huge credit. Was the outdoor series more difficult than the Supercross series? Not even close (IMO) The stop after Daytona then the wait... then they started outdoor training only to get whipped back into the SLC grind to finish the season ...it was the SX season of all SX seasons. Tomac won ...finally. So his outdoor series wasn’t what we expected, he won a few Motos and got back on form. Bottom line, Tomac is the Racer of the Year!!!

Thumbs down from Answer rep..?
Right on 10-Time Champion. I’ve always thought it a bit weird that many industry folk don’t count 250SX regional titles in a racers total title count. They are titles after all.
I knew something was up when RV showed up at a local race with his kids in FOX gear. ...not to mention seeing photos of him riding in logo-less gear. Canvas is some cool stuff, hopefully this helps them grow.

Yeah....I’m not buying that. I hear over and over by industry people “You’re only as good as your last race.” That clearly makes Zacho Husqvarna’s #1 Rider. Nobody buying a new dirt bike questions “who’s the guy on #16?” 4 Championships for Husky now all runnin’ #16, I think Zacho’s earned it. It’s just a huge oversight.

I think it looks great. I dig the black. Throw on black fork guards and a black front fender and it looks awesome!

So... why does this have Anderson’s number when Zacho won the Outdoor MX Champion? Also, in SX he had one less podium BUT had a win while JA’s had 0 wins, and likely would have finished ahead had he not gotten injured. Hmmmm.... This was a slap in the face to Osborne IMO. Anderson has been on cruise mode since his ‘18 SX title while Zacho been charging ahead. Bad on ya Husky!!!

The KLX looks so much like a Chinese bike. Wish they'd release a street legal more dirt oriented version of the KX250F and KX450F
Kawi is trying but I agree with queen of spodes...build and sale ssomething like the KTM EXC’s. Also bring back the KDX200!
I wish they made a street legal KX 450
This whole Big Announcement on Nov 23 has turned into a Big Disappointment! Lots of talk about a 700cc Real Adventure bike to replace the KLR650… Nope! Instead we get a low budget 300 tank. No thanks. Looks like I’m buying a Ténéré 700.

Throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s I don’t remember ever seeing a racer get their leg caught in the another racers rear wheel. I’ve seen it A LOT in the last few years. It’s not rocket science... KTM pioneered the slimmed down side plates in the mid/late 2000s and shortly there after all the Japanese brands followed suit. They almost look like a funnel into the wheel/swingarm now.
Bring back the full size side plates and save a bunch future racers some suffering. Of course it’s could still happen, but certainly a lot less.
