im gettin a new quad because i have outgrown my rappy and just want more power. i'm 15, 6" 165 pounds. i do most any type of riding; on a track, draggin my dad and my friends, tons and tons of wheelies, and trails. mainly i just want a quad that is easiest to wheelie, and will win sum drags. against my dads banshee and my to good friends hav an ltr-450 and an yfz 450. i want to beat them 9 out of ten times. i'm goin to mod the hek out of it. i' lookin at these quads all 08:
yfz450
ltr 450r
kfx450r
trx450r
which one suits me the best???
thanx

 

I'm primarily a desert cross-country ridier. For me, the Honda is the king of desert endurance racing (like Baja...start the quad up and ride 1000 miles non-stop!), which proves its durability, so that decision was easy for me!

I have a buddy with a 450R, highly moded, and set up for sand drags. He can beat everything out there!

None of them are very good trail quads. They all like to rev and don't like to lug, so you have to do a lot of clutch slipping...which gets old real fast!

My R will wheelie when I want, but more important is that is won't wheelie when I don't want!

 

all four are very good quads. if you are going to mod it up i whould get the yfz450 or the trx450. so meny aftermarket parts for these quads and the starting price is going to be lower for these quads. if you are not really going to mess the the suspestion much i whould get the ltr-450 because it has the best stock suspestion and it is fuwel injected.

 

thanx for the replies guys. i'm leaning towrd the honda 450r anyway cuz i heard it had the lightest front end, is this true?

 

Despite what you might think, you sure don't want a machine that is wheelie happy! My R is nice and well balanced....

The wheelie happy machine is the Raptor 700! The best handling wheelie machine is the 400EX!

 

i thought bout the rappy but cuz i heard it wus a wheelie machine, but then i couldnt dominate the track.lol. i'm thinkin either trx450r or yfz 450.

 

the ktm is a nice quad.if it's built as good as the dirtbike. price is high but the shocks alone would cost 2g's by themselves.

 

i forgot bout the ktms. how will the ktm 525 compare to the rest of them?

 

the 525 is more for trails than track

 

polaris has ktm motors in them,cost will be less,also not the ohlins shocks or the other expensive parts
