The KFX is a pig! It is to huge and heavy for a sport quad, and in reality is a shaft drive 2wd utility in sport plastic. If you are a huge guy and the KFX fits you, then get a DS650 instead. But, if you fit fine on your EX, then get one of the 450's.

My 450R is a superb machine! I ride desert at high speed, and it corners like it is on rails. Took me a while to get the suspension dialed in, but it eats big desert whoops for breakfast. None of the 450's are great trail quads, because their engines need to be ridden reved out (nothing like your old EX that would lug down). If you are a trail rider, should have kept the EX!

All of the 450's close in terms of power. The 450R is carbed, all the other 450s are EFI.

I'd go with either a KFX450 (you have reverse), DS450X XC, LTR 450, or a YFZ450R

English as a second language might help.

Seriously though, I'd say get one of the 450's, and maybe hit up a buffet or two.

Here here!!! Usually I will not read a post that is done text style. Maybe we all need to post that we are boycoting them, and they will get the message.
