well you get those towels from costco :)


great deal too.

i usually have like 2 packs at my house

 

I work at Aston Martin, Land Rover, Jaguar. Got more than enough oil should I need to top up. Or they could add a larger oil pan for street legal version. Or you can run a half quart over or some shit like on stuntbikes so the bike doesn't starve for oil on wheelies. I'm sure they could design somethin practical at honda for the 450 :)

 

08 Yamaha Zuma Yamaha Racing Blue, does that even count?

 

Keep in mind that the CRF450R and X only hold 670ml of oil for the engine and 600ml for the tranny. The manual recommends changing both oils every 3 hours, but that can be stretched out to around every 6-8 hours before running into reliability issues relatively quick. You can also only run those volumes up to 700ml for both the engine and the tranny before running into issues. The bike doesn't have an "oil pan" but Honda could certainly rebuild the cases to hold more oil, but I don't see them retooling just for a motard bike due to low demand.

Almost certainly the bike would also a need a 6th gear. It hits 5th gear very quick in both the R and the X. Also, stainless steel valves for both the intake and exhaust side would be needed. I would love to see a new out of the box street-legal 450r/x with a new engine built around the current configuration! Imo, the best hope for now is the FMX650 motard that Honda produces in Europe & Japan.

 

that bike looks sick. The new yamaha motards are pretty sweet. Of course we get the 650L but one pre-tarded is sweet. A middleweight Honda tard would just be sick. It would sell like mad too

 

My cars are from Japan -
But my bike is from Italy - Viva Ducati Corse!

 

Holy hell this bike is HAWT! I like how everything flows together from the wheels to the rear sets... even the stabilizer! If you don't mind me asking how much was the exhaust? Are those Marhcesini wheels? Very nicely put together man... best body style too IMO!

 

yeah that bike has marhcesini wheels.

i love that bike.

 

Thanks for the comments. yes they are Marchesini wheels and the exhaust was $1200 because I just had to have the Titanium header. I think something is wrong with me.

 

Up in AR last month...

 

my other ride is a '04 Yamaha FZ6

 

Just got it put together today. Not really a motorcycle, but a fun little toy nonetheless:



2008 Kikker Hardknock

 

been into bikes since before i can remember. raced atv's then mx for a while then gave up after a bad string of injuries. my uncle brian livengood raced ama superbike for 2 years before a wreck at road atlanta in 03 at 165 miles an hour left him unable to race anymore! this is him right before it happend actually.

 

you know, some days i regret getting out of motorcycle racing, then other days i am just happy i got out of it with my body still in tact

 

I've got a Triumph Bonneville. The Fit sure leaves me a lot more room to move the bike around in the carport than my Subaru did!

 

i do. 08 ninja 250. just started tryin to stunt 50 =)

 

2002 RC51
2009 Fit

 

yeah that bike has marhcesini wheels.

i love that bike.

 

i love rc51's, especially the sound with nice pipes on them. My fave is the black/charcoal one tho

 

this is the 09 230M. Actually looks pretty good for a color scheme too. think i found my next honda, since they'll never drop a 250M or 450M
