Ltr450 & sand
Hey to all. I just signed up on the sight to pick your brains. I need a sport quad. After 10 years on a 1995 suzuki LT250 utility quad i need a fun ride. I need something for beach dunes and all-terrain ripping. I really like the 06 suzuki Ltr450, but it's a race ride. Just wondering how it would do off the track. The Z400 also caught my eye as well. I can get a brand new 2005 model honda 400EX for around $4900.00 from the local dealer,and they also mentioned the Yamaha wolverine with 2wd & 4wd might be a good option. FYI i am 5'6" 150lbs 40 years old in june. Any suggestions would sure be appreciated. Thanks

I just purchased a yamaha raptor 700R 2006. Give that a look see. I sure like it. It's very responsive, great suspension, plenty of torque, and is good for GNCC under Bill Balance. I wiegh 200 and it halls me just fine. I'm going on 56 and keep up with my grandchildren on yfz450's. Heading for Sand Mountain, Utah for memorial day. I loved it ther easter holiday and was with about 45 differnt ATV's in our camp. Came home after that trip and ordered my Raptor. I bought two of them and gave one to one of my sons. We love it. Give it a consideration. Good luck. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

If you've been on that 250 utility for all this time, most any of the new sport quads are going to be heaven for you. The 400EX actually is still a great quad and overall good value, and will fit your size well. The Raptor 700 might feel a touch big under you, but then my wife at 5' 4" does ride a Raptor 660. I'm not sold on the LTR450 at this point. The new YFZ450 is a real good choice too, they have worked out the bugs and the ride is better, seat more comfy, and the power is beyond wonderful.
We also own a Z400, and if I'm not in the big dunes where I need the most power, it always is the one I jump on to take a spin out of our 4 quads. It is about the best balanced package out there with reverse, water cooled, great handling and comfort. Just doesn't have the huge 450 race-class power but does run very well with pipe and airbox/jetting.
I am 6' and 45 years old, my favorite is my YFZ but I want one each of everything out there and there are many good ones to choose from. Happy shopping!!
