[QUOTE="Greg in Oz, post: 155713, member: 24596"] Dunno about you guys but I ain't putting diddly down on any bike I can't pick up and shake around , listen to how the thing sounds or at least see running at the track, preferably with me test riding . Honda has a reputation for good engineering but they certainly aren't foolproof. Ask any one who's given the clutch on a XR650 some work. The things seize up and loop you out cause they put this bushing in the hub that doesn't get enough oil. I dont know how they get this desert race ultra endurance reliability tag from all the mags. Oops, yes I do , it's called mega-buck ad budgets. But I digress. The bike has a number of features that are new and potentially good but unproven and I'd like to see a full season on the proddy version before I take a punt on one. Remember, Yamaha has had 4 seasons to fix the grabby clutch on their thumpers and hasn't done it. I don't fall for the jap factories hijacking of the magazine pages and if people started insisting something better than BNG each year cause there's no competition. If it wasn't for the Euro factories shaking them up we'd all still be riding 8 year old designs in thumpers and 2 strokes. Support your local euro factory.:think [/QUOTE]
