3. Polaris Outlaw 450
4, and 5. Tie between Honda TRX 450R and Yamaha YFZ 450
6. Kawasaki KFX 450
7. Suzuki LT-R 450

Got to give some specifics about your type of riding!

The Suzuki is a wide, which is good for the track or open country, but not on a tight trail. Doesn't have a lot of ground clearance.

I like the YFZ for play riding/track, but it isn't very comfortable for all day cross-country rides. Better trail quad than the Suzuki.

 

im going to use it mostly for trails and dunes

Whats your price point? The Can-Am and the KTM are the highest price points. Check the Kawi 450R, reasonable price point, EFI and has reverse(only 2 in the 450 class with a reverse, if you think it might be handy).
