I have a friend that works for Honda, in 2007 he told me what changes were going to happen to the CRF450 in 2009. Everything he said was correct. At that same time he told me the TRX450 would have the following in 2010(2011 if they have bugs in the CRF450).

Aluminum Frame

EFI

2 selectable fuel mappings-handle bar mounted

Kayaba shocks(they dropped showa)

New geometry

Now that the other MFGs are making race specific models, don't be surprised to see 2 models, XC and MX.

If they go the same route they did with the CRF, the TRX will be completely different. The only thing that is interchangeable from the 08 CRF450 to the 09 CRF450 is the brakes.

woahhh i'm down wit dat

i'd take it.

[Stoopidbot1]

When I say new geometry I mean they will move the motor slightly down and forward, which will lower the center of gravity and bring it more over the front of the seat rather than the pegs.(results in even better cornering than honda has now). That with about an 18mm longer swingarm.

I hope they fix the rear shock issue. The TRX bucks like it's in a rodeo. The shock is at too much of an angle, it needs to be more vertical.

sounds cool, has anyone read the newest dirtwheels with the 09 buyers guide?

two things stood out,

they said the KFX450R was the fastest and best handleing quad in 2009

and they claim the AC prowler XTZ 1000 did 75!!

thats crazy.

[wheeler0801]

i dont have that one, i do have the Quad buyers guide tho...and as much as I really want anew quad, but I'm goin to wait until 2010...hopefully the race season will go extremely well and I'll have some more sponsors to help out

i dont have a subscription..i bought two of them today at walmart, well my sister bought em for me, they had a shootout with the yamaha wolverine 450, the polaris scrambler 500, and the renegade 500. it was about the most non biased shootout ive ever read. they called it a tie, they said all machines needed some updates. wolys motor is weak, the scrammys suspension is decent, and the renegade, all it had on the others was power.

good article.

[wheeler0801]

i really havent looked at mine, but i should. i'll definitely look at it when 2010 rolls around:biggrin:
