If the new 450's feel tippy and UNSAFE to you(even compared to a 250R) you should never swing a leg over a ute or less race oriented sport quad. Might get hurt that way. I agree with 2fun, I have little desire to ride either of the LT250R's I have access to now that I have the YFZ. I just run the weedwacker now to get my 2-stroke exhaust fix, LOL!

 

When you come from a bike that has been widened and built to run race conditions, it is hard to go back to a stocker that was built to be used as both a leisure/performance machine. Im used to riding a machine that can be ridden WFO and take the punishment.

 

No prob, but you need to understand that over the internet, it looks like you are comparing stock to stock and saying the 450's are tippy. Give the 450 the same width axle/a-arms and you should get only small differences in stability, definately not enough to feel unsafe. My bro's LT250R is widened, BTW, and while I can admit my YFZ would likely raise a wheel first, I can also dive a lot further inside of a corner. Stability doesn't always equal better handling.

 

if i would you i would go with the 450r they da bomb
