The KFX is not much lighter than the TRX. You need to read reviews of the KFX and see what is said about it's handling and what is needed to do to the suspension ($$) to get it to handle good.
This is a slightly biased opinion but I think the TRX is a hands down better quad than the KFX.

My buddy has the KFX, so I have a fair amount of saddle time on it. I would pick the TRX hands down for where I ride, which is desert.

The only place I might prefer the KFX would be for trail riding, but then again, none of the 450's are really the hot setup for trail riding, because their engines are all rev (requires a lot of annoying clutch slipping).

ltr450 is definately not a trail quad. Too wide & too low!

I would pick this one for the track only. No trails or even desert.
