Hello ladies and gents. Been awhile since I've been in here. Sold my 700xx way back and i'm ready to get back into atving again. Anyhow was at the dealer seeing if there was any leftover 700xx here in Canada. There's none, but what interested me was the Honda rep on phone with my dealer said a 2013 700xx is showing up on his order forms for June 2012. You fellas hear anything?

Haven't heard a thing, suscribing though, that would be awesome!!

Had a look at their "media newsroom" and the only 2013 listed is the trx90..
A few stopped in 2009.

It shocked me. Even while he was on the phone I asked are you sure 700xx and not a new 450r. He said "no", 2013 700xx is the only one on list right now. This is Canada though. We don't have the 400x for 2012 so I don't know if anything is different from our 2 countries.

If this is true then you have to ask one question. Why is Matlock Racing running TRX450r's ?

 

[mytrx700xx]

God I hope so, I love the t-reXX and would hate to see it go extinct

Honda usually does a model for 3 years, unless it is really bad. I am guessing they still have a 2010 model but until the economy picks up Worldwide and they have run out of 2009 models, then they will launch it. Don't expect major changes probably be "BNG". The magazines tried to match it with the Raptor then the KFX700. The 700xx has a new class that fits between the Raptor and the 800 rene.
The magazines are coming around to learning this and are slowly growing to like it. Dirtwheels April issue is a prime example.

Factory deal where they only run 450's, if I remember correctly.

Well heard the same from Honda in Guatemala, they say the 700xx also appears on their system as well. Looks like a comeback!

 

[DL700]

hmm... If they got it right and did a solid axle option it would sell very well

Priority should be:

Add Solid axle Option
Fix POS decompression mechanism
Make it lighter
More cosmetically appealing

 

[xx700xx]

If they go solid axle I'm hoping you can make power as easily as the raptor. New head design!

 

[DL700]

450R head X1.5

by the time i have my 08 payed off, there will be a 2016 model coming out. lol

 

[traitor08]

If its not irs, its not an xx

 

[BuckeyeXX]

If its not irs, its not an xx

Agreed

Honda should just let me build it in true Honda fashion, You want a 700xx SRA which can be built but just buy a Raptor. I'm gunna kick ya ass on the trails though !Also on a side note is when SRA have a really bad day's racing the xx has a really good day and they always have a smile on there face. The xx shines when it runs in the worst conditions. That's why I love it.

Just hasn't rained/snowed enough for sra's to grasp this !

You guys are going to drive my insane!

I've been saving and watching for used ones and then you go and start the 2013 topic!
So I call around to a bunch of Honda dealers around Philadelphia and New Jersey, send out emails request.
Every reply and phone call answered said there was no way the 700xx was coming back and they have heard of no plans whatsoever. NOW you start this thread.....DANG IT!

[DL700]

Im not saying get rid of the IRS ...but why wouldnt they make a SRA bike in addition that is 60 lbs lighter and will sell much easier...Sand riding is HUGE and they need to fill that market...

 

[M_Quick]

ahh the 450r at 388 lbs.
