im pretty sure that im geting a 450 but i need help picking one for me. I ride mostly on trails maybe on a track one in awile. i was thinking the trx 450r or yfz450 but my buddies say ltz. i need some help for u guys. THANKS

 

They all are good quads and bring different things to the table. It really comes down to personal preference on which to go with but Ill give you a couple thoughts to think about.

Do you want Fuel Injection ?

I love it and personally wouldnt buy another quad with out it. So that would leave 2 the LTZ and Kawasaki new 450.

Would you like reverse?

That leaves 1 choice the new kawasaki

If mainly trail riding trails the LTZ is a tad wide and the stock 18 inch tires dont help much either but tires shouldnt make a decision.

Go to each individual forum and they all claim they are all the fastest so that gets you no where lol

If mainly trails my 1st choice would be a close look at the kawasaki ( dont know alot about it yet but seems like a good trail quad) or the Honda would probally be my second choice.

If all esle fails pick which color you like best lol

Just my 2 cents hope it helps a little [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I am extremely pleased with my 450R. I ride it almost exclusively in the open desert, and faster more open desert trails. I would however not pick any of the 450's for a tight woods trail quad. They like to rev, and it requires a lot of clutch work which gets really old after a while.

 

As recon said. I would also not choose a 450 for tight trails. but some 450's do well in open trails where u can rev them a lot and giv it gas [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

but they not the easiest to ride in tight trails.
I got a Z400 and it's easy to ride in tight trails . I find my bike easy to ride anywhere actually.

but back to ur question. out of the ones u named . for trails , i'd pick the 450r , the new black one looks fine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Giving the new kawi 450 a look might be good as well. I haven't had a ride on one , but i'm sure it will make a good trail quad.

Good luck with ur choice

 

The honda is the best for trail but if your staying stock i wold go for the suziki.

 

suzuki is more for mx racing... its no as good in the sand, and i dont like wherethe computer is located... i LOVE yfz's, but thats just my personal bias. the hindas are a great all-around bike too though, and their pretty comfortable compared to the yfz, but i just like the yfz over all of em. test ride em at a dealership or somethin, or if your buddies have anyof them ride em around and see what you like best. its all up to personal preference.
