Is the suzuki 450 the same as the kawasaki 450? I heard they are not partnered anymore.

This could be my next sport quad. I love it, except too bad they didn't come with the wide A-arms and axle like the Suzook (that 450R is just too weak in the engine for me). Reverse! Awesome!!! Its got everything! I bet the engine is a screamer if Kawis history says anything about it. It'll be interesting to see what Can-Am ends up with in this class, who would have thought we'd be where we are now when the YFZ came out.

I predict a big win of this machine in Dirt Wheels (if Kawi pays them as much as they did for their Priaire 650 reviews anyway) - DirtWheels- what a joke! But in all seriusness, this could be the quad to beat - it'll win MY shootout just with that reverse gear. Trailriders rejoice, we finally have a quad we've always wanted!

i WANT one!

the black is frickin tight

i'm not a huge fan of the lights tho, some yfz lights or no lights would look sweet, with all the jagged edges and points, round lights just dont flow well! but thats just me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

wow that thing is sick. two things i do not like about it...2.2 gallon fuel tank and it does not come equipped with stainless steel braided brake lines. ims will probably solve the small fuel tank problem shortly after its release date, and brake lines can be purchased. i wish i did not just dump a bunch of money into my z400 thinking that the kfx wouldnt be here for awhile.
