The only thing I can see keeping it from being made is pricing. With the WR250R being like $7k brand new a 450 would have to be like $10k or so. I don't know how many people would buy it at that price.
I'll keep dreaming and hope it arrives in the future. But it will be expensive if it ever does get made. A real fantasy bike.

Honda could do it for a more reasonable price. Just look at their CRF250L, $5000. They could make a CRF450L for under $8000. Their CRF450X trail bike is $8500. The XR650L is $6,690 but it is a 20 year old bike. Too heavy, carbed, dated suspension, ugly, etc..
If any of the Japs could make a 450 dual sport for under $8k I'd be all over it. Well it would need to have all the stuff I mentioned before and need to be under 350 pounds wet. So yeah, I'll keep dreaming as well.
Heck, I would purchase an updated XR650L. Come on Honda!
