bring back the 04/05 motor... updated. a good efi wouldnt be bad and i would bet on the new 450R having it since the CRF has it. i would also bet on it having an aluminum frame. anyway... how are the aluminum frames holding up on bikes and quads like the KFX450R compared to steel frames?

Yeah i bet it will have EFI and an aluminum frame since thats what all the other 450's have. And i have never really heard of anyone breaking a KFX or YFZR frame, or any of the bike frames, not like the honda steel frames that some people break even with a gusset kit installed

The KFX frame is very well built. It's not a material issue if any others are breaking. If Honda does it right, aluminum would be a good thing. I like EFI itself, the power delivery and throttle response. Also fine tuning is easier than swapping out a bunch of jets, but I'm NOT a fan of all the electronics that go with it. The thing I liked MOST about my Honda was it was so simple, easy to work on and reliable. More tech means more room for bugs. Now with the MXR, I'm starting to enjoy working on a bike again... IMO of course.

I'm with you on this one. So tired of seeing threads or hearing my buddies talk about the new fuel injected, aluminum frame trx450. I'm like dudes it ain't out, you're talking about a photo shopped pic from dirt wheels, ha!

HQ has the heads up in the dirt world though so i have no doubt that somethings coming out, i just have my doubts as to whether or not it is a new trx450 with the alum. frame and efi.

could be a UTV to compete with the Razor, that is the hot market right now. And I am surprised Honda has not got into that game yet

^^ That's what I was thinking... Bring back the Pilot!

They had a "sport" UTV on the drawing board a couple of years ago but it looked more like a farm truck than a sport UTV.

Honda has a big red which is like the yamaha rhino (both are work horses). Yamaha has a sport rhino but it's still not comparable to the rzr unless you build it. I think the only sport utv's are the rzr, the can am commander, and the kawasaki teryx. The can am and the RZR are far superior.

Is that the Big Red? That thing is a moose... And they shouldn't have reused that name. The big red is part of Honda history!

oh yeah, that one too, forgot about that one! I agree with the big red name, they should not have re used it.
