I am anxiously awaiting some reports about the new Suzuki 450. Anyone seen or ridden one yet?

 

There is one sitting on the floor at Action Motorsports in Anthem AZ. I'm surprized that this forum isnt full of z450 threads. Who has one and how does it perform?

 

EyE beeT wUn WiF! mUy BaaAAnsHheee!!11!!!11

ooouuhhhhh fFFffFFAaaaAAASssSStttttTTT!11!!!

 

i've seen a couple at the dunes when I was there on pres day
and what I could tell was they looked quick
havent seen one up close yet

 

Theres quite a few popping up now as they've been out for several weeks at least.
Ive ridden one a few times now and if your comparing it to a normal z400 - then you could say it is faster, lower,wider, and a far more focused bike.
It will do well against the opposition and with minimal mods IT CAN GO LIKE HELL !!

 

I got one a couple weeks ago and with in stock form it's pretty impressive and the handling is AWESOME! Then put on the cherry bomb, take the air box lid off, and the baffle out it's a completely different machine! The first ride with those mods I was overwhelmed with joy.

If you want to see reviews go to lt-r450central.com

 

It's actually the LTR450... and I love mine... to the point where I'm breaking down my Z400 to make it a 440 now.

I'm in the process of getting the new Yoshi ESM system along with Yoshi titanium pipe/carbon silencer. I'll have the quad dyno'd stock then dyno'd with the extras on and post the results. Seems like there's alot of questions as to what HP the quad really puts out stock.

I've so far I've only pulled off the airlid, arrestor/silencer, and added the cherrybomb and as other's have said, it is truely a new quad compared to when it leaves the dealer floor.

 

i saw 3 at THE CLASH OF THE TITAINS- SISILY ISLAND SAND DRAGS. they are pretty fast , i saw 1 with the yoshi computer, pretty damn quik. i heard they are geared low for motocross is that true?

 

Kawiking it doesnt matter you could outrun one on your bike if the 440 is setup right... plain and simple im not impressed, know where near as fast as a yfz... suzuki realy dropped the ball by putting everyone in suspence on that pile

 

im still running stock bore. i wish i would have got the 434 athena kit. i saw stewbing run this weekend. all i can say is damn!!! he was lighting some 450r's and yfz's up. very nice bike and very nice person,got to talk at him sat. night for a sec. hope you had a safe trip back to the lou!!!
