All we have at this point are the spy photos of the japanese works bike from a while back. I don't think any new info has come out since then?

Edit: "The WORD out of..."

If the All Japan bike is a Twin Cam, they've made a heck of an effort to disguise it as a single cammer. Sure, it could have just a 'cap', with the Cams and their holders / journals under it, but, I doubt it.

They've got a Twin Cam engine in the Dakar / Rally bike, for at least the last 2 seasons - but that has visible cam end caps. It certainly has nothing to do with existing CRF Rs or Xs.

Whatever it is, I've got dibs on a rolling chassis when the '17s arrive - I'm going in cahoots with a mini Speedway car driver to both get what we want - him the engine and all it's ancillaries, me, the aforementioned rolling chassis . If it is all changed, and works well. If

I heard 3 mufflers. 2 on the left to counteract the weight of the right side header pipe, kickstarter and throttle tube.
I almost forgot, the radiator cap also.

Much like kiwifan, I'm sure your dealer only wants you to buy his bike because of how fast you will make it look for him. Wink

Will the plastics fit my 89 xr400 though?
I'm sure some zip ties and creative drilling will work just fine, i've see it done hundreds of times on youtube haha. People should love what they have, not try and make it look new.

I heard the new Honda is not ready for 2017. May be a 2018 model at this point. They stopped riding it a few months ago and went back to the drawing board.

I heard changes to the YZF platforms too. Its all hearsay, we are all like teenage girls when it comes to our bikes/sport. I for one look forward to what they all throw out next year. Just saw the reviews on the new WP AER forks which claim best air fork out of them all. Until then speculate away.

Adjustments to the engine/bottom-end...is what I'd heard.

They have no interest in selling something that doesn't make them proud.

I like that.
