scaudy Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Anyone heard or seen much about the 450 in the US? I was at a desert race over the weekend and noticed some folks in BMW of Ventura jackets. They used to have one or two 650's they sponsord but I had not seen them for the last few races. We asked if they had a bike in the race and they said yes... It was a Honda CR 500. Thought it was odd that they were supporting a Honda and I didn't see any BMW'S. I am looking to get a bike to race on at team race events (read this as races longer then 250 miles) and was looking at the Kawi KLX450R but if the BMW runs good I might consider it. Link to comment
outpost22 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 My local dealer was offering a test ride according to the mailer I received. I saw the 450 parked by their doors, but was too busy to stop and see it at the time. You can read about it HERE Link to comment
bmwsit Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 My local dealer has several 450's in their show room Link to comment
Twisties Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I was told the rear wheel pivots at the front sprocket, eliminating changes in chain tension with suspension movement, and thereby reducing need for chain adjustment and the possibility of a broken chain... But since I can't get a leg over it, it's all moot to me. Link to comment
