BenBB Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Anybody seen this?? Noticed it in the new ATV Sport, didn't think they'd ever build a big-bore... ATV Source link '08 Hondas The IRS is a surprise, EFI sounds good, I just kinda skimmed it but looks like the Rappy has some comp :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 yea, we've been discusssing the hell out of it over on the TRX site. one of those deals where we don't really know how it'll work until we get on one but the general consensus is that it's a tad too heavy, otherwise looks decent and good potential for stroking for those motorheads. based on my xc background, i can't help but think how nice an IRS would ride.

sredish Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) The weight number of 508 is CURB weight. It seems Honda has changed how they are spec'ing these machines. Instead of DRY weight, everything now has a CURB weight, meaning every fluid (oil, tranny, coolant, fuel) is full. I like this. It was pretty common for DRY weights from the manufactures to be, ummm, optimistic. The Raptor 700 has a claimed DRY weight of 396, but in the real world with all fluids full they are around 440. So although this new Honda is portly, it's not as bad as it first appears. Specifications: Model: TRX700XX Engine Type: 686cc liquid-cooled SOHC dry-sump single-cylinder four-stroke Bore and Stroke: 102mm x 84mm Induction: Keihin PGM-FI with a 44mm throttle-body fuel injection system Ignition: CD with electronic advance Starter: Electric Clutch: Manual Transmission: manual five-speed with Reverse Driveline: O-ring-sealed #520 chain Suspension Front: Independent double-wishbone with dual single-rate springs provide 9.3 inches of travel. Rear: Independent double-wishbone with piggy-back reservoir shocks provide 10.6 inches of travel Brakes Front: Dual hydraulic 174 mm discs Rear: Single hydraulic 200mm disc Tires Front: 21 X 7R 10 Rear: 22 X 9R 11 Length: 73.9 inches Width: 46.3 inches Height: 45.4 inches Seat Height: 33 inches Ground Clearance: 10.5 inches Wheelbase: 50.0 inches Turning Radius: 8.5 feet Fuel Capacity: 3 gallons Colors: Metallic Black/Silver, Metallic Black / Red Curb Weight*: 508 pounds Some Comparisons off the mfg's websites. ...........................TRX450R................TRX700 Length..................72.6 inches.............73.9 inches Width....................46.3 inches............46.3 inches Height...................43.6 inches............45.4 inches Wheelbase.............49.2 inches............49.8 inches Seat Height............32.6 inches............33 inches Ground Clearance...4.2 inches.............9.9 inches Weight...................350 dry.................508 (curb) ...........................YFZ450R................

BenBB Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Official Honda link Ya that's purty hefty heh, I'd like a better look at that final drive tho, interesting setup...not gonna change sprockets in the pits between a preride and a race if its the same day I'll wager. Looks like some kind of eccentric for adjusting the chain hmm. Those are some massive front fenders...I'm thinking the Renegade 800 has a close rival in how much frickin' plastic there is hangin' on it, might be able to eject some mass there. Definitely better suited to Baja than ATVCCS, unless you put a snowplow on it and just mowed trees down lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 That looks like a helluva fun ride. I don't think it'll compete with a Raptor...however, until that baby goes on a diet. I'd still like to ride one, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
