If your going to jump ship wait for the kaw 450 it has reverse.

 

I thought about it...but I dont know how well I will like the efi...I dont want to have to bring it to a dealer everytime I put a new mod onto it....I will wait to see what magazine say about it when it comes out...

 

why would you go with a 450 when you can get a 500 for the same price. Come on!
Were not talking a big gap here, get r done.

 

I think he wants to stay under the 500 class to race and kick azz

 

I want one of the 450's because they put out just as much power, they are lighter, more nimble, and it leaves the option for me to start racing if I really wanted to (which is something I wouldnt mind trying at one point in time before I get too old

 

Unfortunately I'd still wax your tail.

Haha, just kidding.

 

you have seen the way I could handle a little 250....think about what I can do with more power [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I mean...I was hitting the samge jump you and peter were....and I was hitting the singles harder too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] alittle more power and I probably could have cleared the second single that was set up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Yeah, yeah, i'll have to give you some props for that .. I've seen a Scrambler 500 try that and case it ... and it led to a nice broken A-arm/right axleshaft and a bent rack. For being a small jump, that jump has serious consequences for missing.

Luckily our new 450 suspensions will soak up that larger jump on the right now, and that one looks 3 times as impressive, and is actually less dangerous I think, as long as you don't decide to give the gas a rest on the lip.

Man, this is going to be a fun upcoming year...

I think the tried and true 450s are probably a better bet than the upcoming Kawi, at least that's my conservative opinion. I'm sure it'll be a great quad and everything, but I'd hate to have some design problems keep the thing in the dealer for a month if that happens. Especially with our "limited" riding time in Minnesota.

You will be attending trail rides with us this year, kapish?
