OK i am 16 170 lbs and 5'10 and i want a 2006 450r or yfz450 and i cant not decide .... i will be doing every kind of riding dunes,track,trail and wide open feilds..... any help or input i would appreicate it thanks

 

I am really similar in wieght and height and i would probably go with the yfz just because it seems to be getting the better reviews....it also is a little better handling where the 450r is more of just a racer......I dont know if you have thought about this but neither have reverses which can be a pain in the butt so you might want to cosider moving to either the raptor 700 same price as the yfz of the 400ex with reverse...just somehting to think about also suzuki has the z400 that is moving up the charts....hope that helps[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Unless you have experience on bikes, you're gonna hurt yourself on a 450.

 

Yeah, what are your riding credentials. If you have little or no experiance, then an all out high performance atv is the wrong thing to get.

Just like a first car. You can't think you can put Junior into a Ferrari and not expect him to screw things up if he has no experiance driving. You always begin with somthing basic.

totally agree these machines arent something to mess around with.....look at the 250 ex its got a the great looking new design and also has s sport clutch now...this one just doesnt have the overall speed and power like its big brothers

 

Get a predator they are fast and easy to handle. remember to stay away from the xplorer 400 it will throw you off the back easily.

 

nope i have plenty of experience i race motorcross and the local track and i have ridin all my freinds yfzs , 450rs and banshees for about a year now and i want to buy my own quad i just put this thread up to help me pick a good reliable quad and no reverse isent a option i care for

 

Cool. I love Honda but if I was racing, I'd want the yfz.
