[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1400198, member: 17212"] Honda hardly "cheeped out on R&D". In fact, they held the first year/model over for a year to do more R&D. While Yamaha was selling their new 400F, Honda was busy doing R&D. Your logic on the difference between a multi-cylinder engine and a single cylinder engine doesn't make sense. Your math is even more confusing. :coocoo: Honda gave us exactly what we asked for. A lightweight, powerful engine in a modern MX chassis that hooks-up to the ground. In order to do this they had to build what amounts to a single cylinder F-1 engine. The technology in this engine is amazing. Unfortunately, with technology, comes expense. Also, a more intense maintainance schedule. I also ride a CRF450 and it is without a doubt the best motorcycle I have ever owned. It does everything and it does it well. If the CRF is more trouble than you want to deal with then, sell it and buy a two stroke or an older XR. Yamaha and KTM are still making and selling two strokes and there are many good used XR's available. No one is forcing you to ride a CRF. If the CRF is properly maintained, it will give you many miles of dependable service. If you go to the expense and trouble of installing the Kibblewhite valves, (as was mentioned in the second post of this thread), you won't have to worry about sucking a valve and damaging your head and that will give you the longevity you are looking for. Good luck. :cool: [/QUOTE]
