I am currently selling my raptor and looking for a new quad. I am kind of torn between the 450r or the yfz450. unfortunately I cannot test ride either of them, so I am left going by opinion. I want a quad that is mostly good for trail riding, but can also be jumped and raced occasionally. I would also rather have bottom end instead of top end. any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. thanks

 

pretty much comes down to whether you like red or blue

 

Electric or kick start?

 

the 05 450r has an electic start and is 400.00 cheeper and from what I here is a better trail machine.

 

the 05 450R doesn't have electric start.

 

Think he might be confused with the CRF450X dirt bike.

 

I think I like the white and ride colors best. I do like how the 450r comes with a kick, but I could also just get a kick starter kit for the yfz450 if I really wanted it. I guess I am just gonna have to wait and see if I can't test them out sometime. thanks.

 

I haven't had the chance to ride either of them. I'd go with the mean blue machine. I've always like Yamaha. Heard the new quad is bad ***!!

 

The Honda has more low end. It has a more "plush, trail ride" feel to it. I think the choice is clear but that is just my opinion.

 

get the honda
