It's on Honda's website now.

I'm still undecided on the plastic, looks put together like frankenstein from the pics, but maybe in person it'd be better. Just my opinion anyway.

so what if its a bling 400ex... the 400 ex was a great quad for a long time. besides if it is a bling 400ex frame w/ a different motor. i have never heard anybody complain about the frame breaking, actually i have heard that the 400ex frame was way better than the motor could ever be.... guess we will have to go on looks till a comparison test (you know when the trx kicks the yfz's a**)......

ok didnt mean to get flamed...

just by looking at the specs you can tell the YFZ is better... (not just saying that cause i have one)

1. More compresssion
2. Flat slide carb
3. Same wieght... and if i drop my electric start and put in the kickstart.. i would drop like 25-30 lbs..

I hope that it is as fast or even faster... for competion sake.. but i think honda went more on the reliability limb then the lets try something new limb... which is a good thing too...

but i cant wait to race/ride a trx.. trying to talk my bro into ditching his 250R and getting one when they come out...

oh and the biggest reason i said i can smoke a TRX is cause YAMAHAS are just faster then HONDAS...
