Looks like a 450.
Hollow cast ally sections and welded frame, with offset under frame fuel tank to the left and radiator on the right.

Wonder íf they'll build it.

someone on there claims to have seen it back in 09 or 10. Waiting to clear existing stock - they must have had a heap if thats the case.

I saw this a few months ago

Honda patent everything and own a fair few patents related to atvs
They would have it built just a matter time before its released

I saw it a while ago too, EFI I would presume, bit of a no brainer I guess. I dont doubt that Honda would be trying to clear stock but I likewise wouldn't be holding my breath to see a new model released any time soon with the largest ATV market in the world still having financial difficulties
