I am intrested in getting a 450 but i dont know which one i should get. Should I get the 450's that are on the market now or wait for the kfx 450. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] I have a raptor 700r now but I want something I can compete on the track with. I would also be using it for trail riding.

 

All three are similar and when it comes to the track YOU will make more of a difference than the machine you're on!


But on a side note it sounds like you have a more serious problem than finding a new quad.....based on your user name at least!

 

since you have a fairly recent, competent bike to do allot of riding with now, why not wait and see what the new KFX and CAN-AM are like? since you are not a pro rider or anything and ride on tracks for fun i bet that 700r will do ok on there. it will do better with diff front shocks...change them out and see what it does for you while you are waiting...

the YFZ and 450R are proven contenders, the LTR is new, and while good, it still hasnt been out that long to make a good analysis on the long term durability of it.

 

Since you already have a nice quad right now, why not wait another 3 or 4 months and see what comes out? Who knows, more competition may drive prices down a bit, or you might run into a sweet deal on an '06 leftover.

 

i hear the kfx is supposed to be less of an mx quad and more of a trail quad

which means it will cater to most atvers needs with reverse elec start ect

but still be really competitive on a track

if ur gonna use it just on the track the ltr is supposed to be the cats meow

the yfz and 450r are good if u mostly ride track but want to hit up some trails
but they dont have a reverse option...(yet)

just my 0.2

 

oh yea

r u gonna sell ur raptor for a new quad or r u gonna keep both

this makes a huge diff..
