Which one would you prefer for trail riding? We all know how good the Z is(Z400 with Yoshi 450 kit) but assuming everything is good on the R450 which would you rather have since they would end up costing about the same-around $7500? Here's a quick good and bad points for each.

Good- Yoshi 450-reverse,great trail machine,looks awesome
Quadracer 450-fuel injection,awesome suspension,frame strengthened

Bad-Yoshi 450-no fuel injection,weaker frame
Quadracer 450-no reverse,not totally sold on the looks,lower ground clearance

I wish Suzuki would make a fuel injected Z500 for under $6000 which would be the ultimate trail machine-(until they make a Z600-he he).

 

depends on what you wanna ride,trails or mx,if your going to ride trails i would say yoshi 450 because you may have to make the qr450 thinner for the trails

 

are you stuck on another Suzuki?

If you want what is possibly the best trail machine for '06, I would consider the Raptor 700. You get the narrow wheel base (compared to the Q-Racer 450), tons of power, reverse, and EFI.

I don't have, or ever had, a Yamaha product, but their offerings for '06 have me seriously looking.

P.S. I like the user name. I listen to The Common Man on KFAN occassionally.

 

I am waiting to see what polaris/ktm will come up with

 

I would have to agree totally with LEP7MM.....raptor 700 all the way dude...its gotta be the best out right now...and i think that they r best for trail riding...they turn good...have good handling...and they r lower and wider than the old raptor 660....go to yamaha man....they r doin good right now with their quads (not sayin suzuki isnt of course) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I decided to keep my z and start to pimp it out instead of buying the ltr450. Im looking at same motor set up as murdr but im keeping the cams that come with the kit instead of using diff ones.

 

that sounds like a good desicion because you would prolly waste more money on the new 450 and investing in something htat you already have the feel for the handling and stuff is a good move on your part.....tell me how it turns out and how you like it....

 

I would get LTR-450r, I heard from the yoshi builder of the east coast that there is about the same aount of power between the two. I asked him and he even suggested to me that i should probably sell the yoshi becuse is wont be as fast as the LTR-450r. But with the Ltr-450 you already have 100% reliability. Dont get me wrong i love my quad but when ever i go riding some where it always in the back of my mind that my bike could fail.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

yea....true true...trust me i have that same thing in tha back of my mind (but mine is a '92 model soo...lolz)

 

LEP7MM-you think I ain't the common man?-lol. Do you know any good places to go riding? It's alot of money to spend for the 450 or the Raptor also. I think I might get another Z but not sure.
