I would like to have one, but the base price in pretty high!!! Think I'm going to wait until a KFX450 comes out. How long do you think I'll be waiting?2007-2008?I ride green, but if green doesn't come threw soon,I'll be riding yellow.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I was told by a friend that kawie and suzuki weren't gonna pair up on the 450's like they did on the 400's. he also told me it sounded like kawie was talking about pairing up with Polaris on a 450. He supposedly was told all this by a dealer by me that handles all 3 brands.

I would be very surprised if Suzuki teams up with Kawasaki or anyone else to clone thier R450. Its going to be thier flag ship model and i doubt they will want to share the glory this time around.

I don't think you'll see Polaris teaming up with Kawa, especially since Polaris just bought stock in KTM and KTM is supposed to be releasing a 450 in 2007.

I was definately surprised when he told me about polaris and kawie teaming up. I told him no way but he claimed thats what he was told. I don't know if he was trying to rattle me or not but I said I would have to see it to believe it.

kawasaki isnt making a clone of the suzuki, suzuki is going seperate with the 450 because it basicaly for racing and they know they will get alot of money from it and they dont want kawasaki rakin in any of the money that they made. so for kawasaki its looking like they might have a 450 out in the next 2 years
