Cool, now if Honda/Yamaha would build one with the 450 motor................

it looks air cooled why would they do that instead of water cooled?

based off of old tooling to save money?

You mean like Suzuki is doing with the DRZ400?
Look here:

maybe they will do a new one off of the RMZ 450.

The engine is the NX/XRL engine. A good reliable piece but no where near as interesting as the 650R engine or the CRF. Still it's a good first step for both Honda and Suzuki (DRZ400S based bike). Low risk to test the market, and maybe buy them some time to build something a bit more serious. Keep your fingers crossed. ;)

Uh....No....

If I wanted one of those, I'd get a XR400 and a Baja kit. :ride:

The DRZ is no match for the YZF/CRF 450s.

I didn't mean that bike, I meant that treatment to an existing 450 mxer. As Rich said, hopefully they will move in that direction.

You would think the 650 or the 450 would be a more interesting choices than the NX engine. I'm sure they were going for longevity with that NX engine...less power = less maintenance.

...my fingers are crossed for next step.
