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?
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.
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.
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!
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...
Yeah I agree, the guy I spoke to is the manager for the local Honda dealership and he said he was gonna sell his xx because he will be ordering the new ones as they appear on his order page.
bump!!! i just sold my xx after 2 years i almost cried to see it go but im sure the new owner is gonna use it more than i did , anyways anyword on 2013 xx's ??
honda must have there engineers on something else they keep there 450 and 250 dirt bike up with all the other makes but not with the atvs,they are letting can am and polaris get all the sales right now:xx:
The XX is no longer in their line up on their website.
