Pretty neat tribute to the machine that started it all 30 years ago!

That is a cool looking 450. I would definitely own it.

Definitely cool. John, you're right. That was Kyle Sands hybrid. He just built a 450r with a cr500 motor in it. I believe he owns KSR exhaust systems as well.

Now that I'm looking at that quad it looks to be a JB Racing 250 mod. The frame is different and the motor seems to be a 250crf judging by the motor mounts and cylinder head.

Yeah I think they said this one is a jb frame. It was the first one they had finished i think. Anyone notice the Hoosier tires? Hopefully that means they'll be making mx tires again.

It also appears Honda may be getting back into the game, not sure the extent of it though. From atvmotocross.com -
"For the 2016 Mtn Dew ATV Motocross Championship, Joel Hetrick, David Haagsma, and Grayson Eller have joined forces to form the new Maxxis/Liquid Wrench/Elka/Honda Team. Besides just a great lineup of racers, the new team also has some of the best mechanics in the industry with Paul Turner, Allan McCostlin, and Shawn Ulikowski joining the team as well, which will surely make for a championship contending combination."

Damn now that's one 450 I'd like to own. Bad bad ass imo. Honestly the best looking 450 I've ever laid my eyes on. That's gotta be one proud owner.

That exact quad was for sale in the Ohio area not too long ago. I think they bought it and changed a few things. I know 100% it was a JB frame and components, same colors and everything
