You should look at the New LT-R450 just picked on up a couple of days ago best purchase and invesment you could get. Suzuki aimed straight for mx tho, this quad is not for trail at all

 

First it was the raptor now the 450r! I cant believe that the 450 is getting labeled as "tippy"... If you think that it is tippy you dont belong riding!

 

I agree, there is NO WAY that the 06 450r is in any way tippy, i've been riding quads for over 13 years, i know that is not very long compare to some of you guys, but i have had my my 450r for about a month, and i have never found where it felt tippy. I haven't rode or sat on a 06 yfz, but when i was lookin i sat on an 05 yfz and that right there made my mind up faster than anything else, personally i hated the way if felt, i hope they changed the feel on the 06's. i would get the Honda, but that is my personal thoughts. like said before ride each of them if you can before buying.
