Default Limited Edition Black CRF450R

So I finally called all the "premier" Honda dealers in the state of Utah and found 1 (no more no less) black Limited edition CRF450R.

So here is the kicker, and I knew it wouldn't be good, they want $8,380.00 OTD

I really don't care about the plastic, as black is really not my thing. The rims were all I really wanted. But at that price I'll pass.

I can get the RED '08 for $7,200 OTD. That's 1100 more

I can get REAL aftermarket rims and hubs for less than that -- not to mention the quality would be a lot better.

So needless to say, I won't be spending any more time looking or even thinking about anything other than a RED CRF450.

To be honest, I like the Limited Edition, but..it seems like the black would get old quick.

But, black rims on the red one...

EDIT: Shoei: If you buy JUST the black wheels, you can get them for $150-200. Or get the powder coated.

You can get a compete wheel sets from RadMfg for a little more than $600 --> RAD Manufacturing RAD Mfg ECONO HUBS & WHEEL KITS

The kit I linked to is at least better than stock, and you would still be ahead.

wow, 8380.00 is a little steep. i paid 7000.00 otd for a LE back in october when they first hit the showroom floors.

i was willing to pay a couple of hundred dollars extra but that was it. i certainly wouldnt pay the 1000.00 they are asking. i pulled the black plastic off anyway!!

Me either. $7000 I would gladly pay, but I won't be paying 8k+

Woody,

There is a dealer in Kendalville here that has a black CRF....I actually stopped in and looked at in on my way down to Indy, $7300 out the door.....not sure what shipping would do though. lol

Oh and on that sticker price on the red one......we may need to look into some shipping options cause I am SURE I can get you a WAY better price then what you are at. Under 7 with taxes for SURE.

Has anyone ever powder coated their rims? I was considering getting it done but I am not sure how that would work out? If I left the spokes on, would I be able to tighten them after powder coating? I am certainly not going to relace the wheel myself, that is tuff work right there.

Apparently Shelby took a picture of one at 3 Palms awhile back...I didn't even know until I went through the pictures...a rather fuzzy, crappy photo though.

They are nice to look at...

Ok, sounds like we need to talk Motoman. So far, I can't touch those prices mentioned. Maybe you can ask about shipping it to me in a crate, though, I highly doubt they will do it, but maybe. Regardless, if you can get more info at your leisure, I would really appreciate it.

Now why did any of you post pictures???? That does NOT help

I can do that, tomorrow morning.

And I wouldn't count out shipping it in a crate with these guys.....they go after volume so it may work out. I will call and get with ya.

Just to throw this out... an option may be to see if shipping from Texas to Utah is any cheaper than from Indiana to Utah. Of course, you'd have to wait until after the first weekend in May to have it shipped.

BTW... this is somewhat off-topic, but there is a guy that was life-flighted out of 3P's this weekend. He was riding one of the black 450r's. Apparently he wadded it up pretty good, here's a copy of part of the post from HMX. "He has some skull fractures, broken pelvis, among other injuries. He's awake and in good spirits. The word is he wants everyone to know his stuff is for sale"

Maybe not the best option, but an option nonetheless.

What? do my eyes deceive me? You're considering getting a bike.

I know when we bought my sons 150R they were a rare find, but one of the local dealers had one (Starts with a "P" and ends in a "laza") was willing to match the Tooele dealers price even though the Tooele dealer didn't have it in stock (didn't tell them that part though). But if you're talking about one of the other Honda dealers they held pretty firm on they're pricing, mostly the one off of the freeway heading into Draper.

I haven't called many dealers locally to see how much I can get a RED one, but when the time gets closer, I will.

I hear the one in salt lake (state and 2100 s.) are reasonable, but we'll see.

But yes, I'll be getting a bike soon. So now, I won't just come out to take pictures (I'll still do that though), but I'll be RIDING!!!

This also means you need to let me know when you go riding so I can come too. All my riding buddies have all but quit.

Yeah, for sure, I'll let you know when we go... I noticed your bro was bikeless now. Is this temporary?
