KFX 450
Does anyone have any links or recommendations as to where I can find a comparison between the LTR450 and the KFX450R? I'd really like to know which one is the better buy. I mean, I can get an 06 LTR for 6k and I am going to pay about 7k for the KFX. Should I trust the KFX since it is so new?

LoL... seen one of the new 450s, and let me tell you, from the looks of it, i would not even think of buying it, looks like a yfz gone terribly bad, and not to mention i would rather have a cinder block for my seat, much more comfortable

i guess anyone cannot voice their opinion without getting ridiculed, its an opinion, you look like a kawi rider so ofc, you would disagree with me, These forums are 99.9% opinion anyways. all i said it looks fugly and the seat sucks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Dont think their is a comparison between the 2 yet, but not sure... what type of riding are you going to be doing????
Looks to me dunes??? if so the kfx will need a sprocket or 2 its geard very low, ltr is set up more for the MX track coming stock with those 18in tires, but I have seen guys out on the trail w/them, have seen some sand lt's from dealers might want to check into that but not to sure if you can still get 1...
I went on a 120 mile ride on saterday & I can say it was the best handling quad I hav ever been on...

But anyway, yes, I will be doing mostly dune riding and some MX (but nothing too competitive). I am 5'10" 183 lb's. I am just worried that the KFX will have problems, as do many new models. I just want a quick, good handling, good suspenion, reliable quad that I can have fun with on the weekends when I'm not working.
