Description:
My new KFX 450R is the newest addition to my garage.
I just bought it brand new (3/09) so I'm still getting to know it.
I had a really really hard time deciding what to buy for this particular purchase until I truly gave this 450R a fair look. Once I did, it instantly became my #2 choice behind the KTM 525 XC. But I was having a hard time justifying "retail" for them since I did not have plans to try to earn a living racing.
Later on, I had went to another dealer to inquire about buying another quad, and once I was there I found out they had at least 3 leftover KFX 450R's from '08 and the '09's were due to arrive at any time.
In the end, I was offered a no-haggle deal I could not refuse.
I jumped all over it right then and brought it home.
This is by far the most advanced 450 production quad offered at this time. It does not have the adjustable axle, or adjustable a-arms, or Ohlins shocks the KTM XC quad has. But so far I'm thinking it may not need these things... and for the price I paid, I could get all those things and then some for less.
Plus, in my opinion it has everything beat in the chassis department... It's like riding an aluminum version of the Roll Lobo chassis. You can feel it's rigid, but it handles superb... even straight out of the crate. And it has EFI to boot... which I am in the process of beginning to accept.
