Looks sweet! Good to see a big bore tinger on the market!

Also, this quote caught my eye: "Join the 2 stroke revolution or get passed by it. " Little late for the party, aren't they?

Service Honda has been doing that converion for quite a few years.Service Honda removes the 4-stroke engine, etc, from a new CRF250 then modifies the frame to accept a 500 engine. The engine is received as parts and they assemble them. You get a new chassis, engine, carb & electronics, pipe & silencer . On some of the conversion they used the cr125. I had shootout article between the crf450r and service hondas 500cc but cant find it . Heres a link to a article from 2004 it is a awesome machine and like you said nice to see a big 2 stroke still on the market.

S/H has been around doing these conversions since the aluminum framed bikes came onto the scene. is not uncommon for people to build their own

they are easy to built.....mine is a crf450,I built it myself
paid 500$ for a 2002 450 with title with a bad motor,I sold al the part not needed (550$)
frame,gas tank,airbox adaptor,exhaust is mostly bolt on
