I think the new trend in race quads will definately be fuel injection AND "reverse".

I would hate to think that Can-Am went to all the trouble of designing the most modern quad and did not include reverse.

Out of all the "race" quads sold, how many actually get raced?
My guess would be less than 3%.

Most are used for aggressive trail riding and running the dunes. While you don't need reverse in the dunes, it's oh so nice on the trails.


What do you think the two most dominate sport bikes being sold worldwide are right now?
Are you going to answer the question?

Obviously the Honda and the Yamaha.
Not sure what your point is?
Up until recently there hasn't been much choice.

My point is neither the 450R nor the YFZ have reverse and they are taking the market by storm.

Sure there has.....the raptor & ds have been out for a number of years.

The raptor (with a reverse) hasnt sold near the units honda or yamaha have sold of their 450's.

So what's the Suzuki LTR-450? Chopped Liver? IT is the only 450 you don't have to buy A-arms for, and it is the only 450 with EFI. The Yamaha and the Honda are second rate. The only real competition for the Can-Am is the Suzuki. And the Can-Am is 25 lbs lighter. spec for spec, that makes the Honda and Yamaha tied for third place.
A lot of Yamaha and Honda riders are brand loyal to the point of being dumb, blind and stupid.

If you want a 450 race class quad you haven't had a choice.

fourlix, I agree that in time the Z450R would be a competitor.

I also agree the ltr450 is a much better quad than the Honda or Yamaha.

This debate hasnt been about a 450 class quad, its been about you saying can-am fell short by not offering a reverse on the 450 when indeed its a "450 class race quad".
