Get a Honda. They're built tough and the trx450r is one of the best. And if you can get a 400ex too, then your set for life.

 

Okay so now I am royally screwed I went to 4 diifrent dealers across my state today and they all sell diffrent brands.... 1 Honda - Suzuki, 1 yamaha - Honda, 1 all brands Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and polaris, and one Polaris, Yamaha and suzuki!!!!!!!!! I found some pretty good deals but all of the "sales" guys I talked to said the Suzuki was the Shiiiiiiissssssss Nit!! So I can get a 2007 r450 and a 2007 400 (for my wife) w/ aluminum trailer, helmets. Gogles. gloves for $14,0000 out the door ..... I am super confused now!!!! Tha Suz certanly has a bad assssss stance and revs the highest......anything bad with Suzuki???

 

You'll just have to go and test ride all. Even an Outlaw! Buy the one that feels the best to YOU. It's what you like! Then come back and tell us why your's is better than ours. Happy riding!

 

I was about to buy an 06 outlaw 500 and a used (15 hrs) 03 400 ex w/ trailer etc etc for $13K but I would much rather have 2 brand new 07 for $1000 more I think I am going Sazuki....... Both elec star..... 400 has reverse (so when the wife runs into a bush...lol)........ both liquid cooled w/ fan............ man I cant wait.... please someone tell me ..."don't do it Suzuki -----" ... If no objections I should have em in a lil over a week[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

go with what u want , but rem. the 450 zuk is'nt allowed on most trails because its 50 inch track. so depends where u live.

 

Do you mean b/c it is so qide??? specs say it is 49" wide

 

The z400 is a great all purpose quad and your wife should enjoy it. It makes a good trail quad and a simple gearing change can make it even a better one.

Dont have alot of XP with the LTR 450 but you will love FI. It is a tad wide for trail riding but it is under 50 so it shouldnt keep you off any trails. Just be careful if switch wheels and tires if places are strict about enforcing that. They arent around here but Im sure someplace are, they just keep the side by sides of the trails here.

The 18 inch tires would be the first thing I got rid of unless spend alot of time on a track but other than that it should be a great quad. Add a cherry bomb and take the lid off and they run pretty strong and have a great suspention set-up.

again 450's arent for me but they are still great quads and alot of people like them, just look at the sales numbers lol
