whats funny is that both these bikes produce faster lap times than any 450 bike...
sht if i had 10000 id buy a 2010 cr500af
S/H has been around a long time. doing your own conversion isnt that hard though, and can be done MUCH cheaper than getting a S/H
Don't forget probably the best all around bike they offer! Not much more than a YZ250 but hey you can't make the best 2 stroke too much better than it already is

So they pretty much just take a 500 two stroke and stick it in the latest 4 stroke 450 frame, and sell it as their own model?

screw the honda, that kawasaki is tits!!!!!!!
Try and imagine what this company could do in the form of a 3wheeled conversion....The mind reels at the possibilities. Modern 2stroke power with a yz250 motivated hybrid. They really have interest in keeping 2stroke machines out there for consumers, and providing machines that the oems no longer build. With their wealth of knowledge they could build the sweetest 2 stroke 3wheeler ever. I realize it will never happen though, as this is only a dream......

Those are nice.. but I like this!![]()
they make a lot of profit doing this.
the 450 set up could be around 3k to 6k and then the engine they mod out and that should be around 1k
so they make around 3k to 6k in profit.
if they made trikes they would be make tpc struggle to stay alive!
does anyone think its worth buying from service honda?
Nope, too expensive. if you absolutely have no interest or skill to fabricate, then it is definitely the route to take though.
i wonder how many they sell a year?
All I can say is most owners of these machine have perma grins after ownership. They very rarely sell em' and when they do it's top dollar return do to the large investment. I'd have to sell ALL my machines to reach that price tag....the YZ300 I bet is a great woods weapon.
