Ducman Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 November Dirt wheels has oh so top secret spy photos of the new 06' Honda 450r along with an article of the features are rumored to have for 06' . BFD, I saw 2 of them at a po-dunk little OHV park this weekend. Wouldn't ya think they might ask the local Honda dealership when they are going to be for sale to the public before putting out this article? I wonder if Honda put a little more pep in the motor for 06' to keep up with the YFZ? Quote
rebelbanshee2 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 the engine is basically CRF spec...as opposed to having different bore/stroke,cam,head etc etc like the 05. It should be alot faster Quote
rider22 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 It is supposed to be quite a bit better with its host of upgrades, most notably is higher compression. Quote
MonkeyBoy Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 The Honda is quite a bit better than last year. Once you start getting into porting, and cam mods, the TRX is every bit as fast as the YFZ as an MX bike. And they stay Honda reliable. The YFZ has a lot to compete with this year. Let's see what the yellow bike does. Quote
Meat Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 450r has an electric start option this year too Quote
stuntmasta3o5 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 I dunno .. the new 450r looks ugly as balls to me and the YFZ is now a true 450 (O know that doesn't really mean anything but hell). I would rather go with th e yellow than the Honda.. But thats just me Quote
