Well I guess I am the only fortunate one here to own both! All of you can feel free to test ride mine if you can resort to lowering your so call standards!

 

So you think the KTM XC 450 is faster then the KTM XC 525, and the Outlaw 450 is faster then the Outlaw 525?

 

Never said that! We are comparing apples to aples outlaw 450 vs say a YFZ 450 or a TRX450 or a 525 vs say a Raptor 700R vs 700XX. I will give you the %@% KTM motor is faster than the 700's stock but in the 450 arena it is a much closer race!!!

 

I,d pay a couple of hundred dollars for Power steering but not $1000.

check this out a 2009 Suzuki KingQuad® 500AXi Power Steering ATVs
A KingQuad® 500AXi Power Steering cost as much as a
KingQuad® 750AXi Its nuts.

 

That is ridiculous I will agree! Hopefully in time as PS becomes more avail on most quads the price should fall as with most "NEW" inventions!

 

i never said they dont belonmg on a quad... my point all along is NOT EVERYBODY HAS A USE FOR IT PERIOD!!! i dont make huge leaps in elevation or come back with sore arms either. i dont need big tires either because im not a big mudder.. get it?

 

I agree. They need to come up with something better, so EPS will decrease substantially. I would like to have it, but not at those ridiculous prices. Can buy a ton of goodies for that kinda coin.

 

and i think the efi is good, but it doesnt make a huge difference for MOST people. ive said before it does better on gas and might have a slught edge in response...

 

Oh I "GET IT" but I ride a stock Grizz and no big mud tires tho I ride allot of rocky, root driven trails and no matter what anyone says EPS makes for much better handling ride! For me its worth EVERY penny!

 

I would like that too, but I am just too cheap to buy an EFI equipped quad. The 400/500HO are perfect for me.
