hey guys i recently sold both my quads to make some money and buy a new one. I'm having some trouble deciding whether to get a 450, or the Raptor 700r. I pretty much had my heart set on the Suzuki Quadracer, but now that a friend has mentioned the 700 im not sure what to do. I do mostly trail riding but i do plan on bringing it on the track as well. Price isn't too much of an issue, I've noticed there almost in the same price range anyway. Any opinions? Suzuki Quadracer R450 or the Yamaha Raptor 700R? Also out of the 450s, do you guys think Suzuki is a good way to go?

 

I'd get a DS450 or Outlaw 525!

 

Almost all the 450s out there from the major brands are good quality, quick quads. I would personally go for one with fuel injection for cold weather starts and altitude changes. Others to think about are the Honda 700xx and Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. They both have independent rear suspension and lots of ground clearance. I've seen plenty of good reviews on the Yamaha also.

 

I think those single piston 450's sound like trash, that is why I did not get one. When I trail ride on my kfx 700 I am ALWAYS leading the way. Check the kfx out, you will not be dissapointed.
