Are those grips factory installed, dealer installed, or customer installed? It's probably something you'll NEVER see in the USA!

That is the market segment that gets ignored by the Japanes bikes. The WR 450 F with a factory plate is what i want. Great off road performance with not quite the fininky maintainess and expensive parts of the European bikes.

One problem, a CRF250X has a top end life of 100 hours max,all while making 24 hp when revved hard. Then it weighs 250lbs in off road trim. That would be 320lbs in dualsport for Honda.
Honda has not a single bike I would look at buying,they're a car company.

that's a slick setup for headed grips and nice and simple.
i can see if that comes to the US as an option those might find there way onto other bikes.

I've started looking for dealers. I'm going to try and avoid buying here. All there are, are Powersports places and they are on the high side. Not the actual price, but all the fee's.

Heated grips and a rack will be options I will get, if they are available here.

Thanks so much! If you have no interest in Honda motorcycles, it's awfully nice of you take your valuable time to shit in this thread about a new Honda motorcycle that lots of folks are interested in learning more about. We've all benefited from your wisdom.

The rear rack is not Honda OEM. Will did out some links so you guys can get a taste of the accessories.

Its in Japanese, but link to the heated grips is here:

They were dealer fitted. Total cost $380 (remember, these are Honda OEM items and Japan is an expensive place to live.)

I have a bash plate on the way (not Honda) arrives in two weeks. Will post up pics when I get it.

^ What he said. Also a CRF250X does not make 24HP.

Another +1 to that. Get the hell out if all you're gonna do is talk crap on this bike.
