i am thinking of buying a new atv and i am stuck between these 3 : 08 kfx 450 , 08 ltr 450 , 08 trx 450... i was wondering which one is faster more comfortable and which one's handling is better... overall which one do you prefer? thanks

 

Well, you're on the Honda thread so you might get some biased answers.
I think the TRX450R probably has the best handling of the three you mentioned.
Depending on what type of riding you are going to be doing really plays a big part in which quad you may want to get.
The LT is very wide and low, not a real good trail machine and the TRX is a high revving machine that can be fun in the trails but is better suited for wide open areas and dunes.
I'm not sure how much the KFX has been improved with it's handling but the test results I have read on it's handling and suspension gave it somewhat poor results.
I love my TRX and ride it in the dunes and on the trails at times. It requires a lot of clutch feathering when riding tight trails, that is why I have my old 400EX for trail riding.
I would not trade my TRX for any bike that is currently on the market, it flat out screams in the sand!
My TRX is a 480 with a stage II Hotcam, ported and polished head, full Yoshimura system, open airbox and rejetted. I simply love it!

 

I love my kfx 450 you gotta love the reverse plus fuel injection. Its great for everything although i havent taken it to the dunes.

 

what about other 450's if you race with them ?

 

Well i had a hard time racing someone stock for stock . My buddys yfz with pipe and jet kit and k&n filter beat me by a bike length when I was stock . But i took him on take off every time. The kfx is a little corked up from factory so if you add a pipe and air box the kfx just rips hardcore. also it is geared a little low for the track so if you add a 15 tooth front sprocket that will make a huge improvement. All in all when me and my buddies get somewhere thats hard to get out I laugh at them when im going in reverse and there off pushing there bikes.
