Title: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: Ride1Rob on January 31, 2006, 08:46:16 PM word on the street is that the all new LT-R450 has finally hit stores on the west coast. Guys have reported of already having them in their garages. But for a pretty hefty price tag :o . Guys are saying dealers in Cali want over $8500 for these bikes b/c of the high demand for them and that the price probably won't fall til a few months from now.

Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: Ride1Rob on January 31, 2006, 08:56:46 PM those things r frigen sweeet... the centered exhaust is predy badazz 8500 is a little steep Yeah, it's kinda like supply and demand :( . If the bike is in high demand and peeps are going to pay those prices for it.... most dealers are going to charge wayyy over the MSRP. There was a guy in the San Diego area that quoted a dealer price of $8900 OTD :o . Must admit myself though... I LIKEY!!! Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: dreth on January 31, 2006, 08:57:37 PM 8500$ and no nerfs???????????? :'( i think i was taken advantage of :R
Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: Sweet Z on January 31, 2006, 09:01:53 PM That is one sweet bike.
Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: LakeMaryKid on January 31, 2006, 09:05:45 PM I dont know why everyone likes this centered exhaust......yeah it looks good maybe, but how does it look after a guy hits you in the ass? Sorry but i wouldnt want to spend 8500 then 500 every race for a new exhaust cause someone bumped me. Only bad design flaw i can see as of now though.
Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: gery350 on January 31, 2006, 09:07:11 PM i think that is the nicest bike i've ever seen.
picking mine up in 2 weeks.(yeah right) why couldnt i been born rich instead of good looking. ;D Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: Dr.Dirt on January 31, 2006, 09:09:53 PM That centered exhaust makes me horney. What the ....? Thats funny right there! ;D Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!!

Sorry but i wouldnt want to spend 8500 then 500 every race for a new exhaust cause someone bumped me. Only bad design flaw i can see as of now though. Hmmm... for someone to hit you hard enough to destroy the pipe I'm thinking you'll have ahella lot more concerns than that quad. That would be a nasty impact considering how they'd have get past those tires and rear bumper ??? Also, maybe it's just me... but it looks like someone has been riding that baby :D Check out the asphalt stains in between the rear knobbies :P Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: Honda250ex on January 31, 2006, 09:14:12 PM ITS a SWEET quad but I guess there is always next year ;) Need to get bugs out first than it will get in my garage. Doug Gust said it is the best production quad out and it can blow a honda and a yamaha >:D
Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: Dr.Dirt on January 31, 2006, 09:14:51 PM I see people getting burned alot more with this new center exhaust for some reason. I mean, its right next to the damn grab-bar.

Doug Gust said it is the best production quad out and it can blow a honda and a yamaha >:D Do you think that Doug would say anything other than that. I think he would be in trouble if he said it was ok BUT he really liked the honda better.Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!!

Also, maybe it's just me... but it looks like someone has been riding that baby :D Check out the asphalt stains in between the rear knobbies :P Not quite, that exhaust does not look too recessed. All it takes is the tires to be staggered and it is toast. I see lots of broken number plates and always hear about the bumping and what not. Trust me you will see it happen more than once. Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: Ride1Rob on January 31, 2006, 09:29:00 PM I really can't see it... There's nothing on the front of an ATV that sits that high to reach the tail light. If that were the case tail lights would be busted out on all sorts of ATV's. My pipe and quite a few others stick out farther than that on the sides of the Yamis, Hondas, and Kawis and you don't see it happen much then.
Look at the stock YFZ pipe... (http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/4954/img2642small9bk.jpg) (http://imageshack.us) FMF (http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/2244/f635839d7gy.jpg) (http://imageshack.us) HMF (http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/5739/f479ba2d7hl.jpg) (http://imageshack.us) Not saying it doesn't happen b/c it happened to me last year at SandMountain. But the guy had to hit me from the side and his tire then rolled on top of mine lifting his front end. His front bumper in turn hit my canister. So actually I think it's more protected in the center. Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: RAD 450r on January 31, 2006, 09:48:31 PM That thing is sweet i wanna see how it matches up to the yamaha and honda 450's its gonna be a good year in the atv world. That thing is sick

I dont know if a familar member can flip a new raptor 700 twice in the short time he has owned it I am sure the the crashing thing is not above his ability. ;) of course I am not calling anyone out just making an observation LOL Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!!

Has no one read the new March 2006 Dirtwheels???? They did a test with it and both Doug Gust and Jerimiah Jones both said it was the best stocker they have ever ridden + Dirtwheels mentioned that it did have a really good stock suspension but it was a little stiff. and in the article they show Doug Gust hitting a step up well over a hundred feet and they didn't mention anything about the pipe bottoming out on the swingarm......Oh yea and they raced it against a non-stock (pipe, blahh blahh) 450R and said that the LTR450 smoked it every time. ;) Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: MOTOCROSS MAVERICK on February 01, 2006, 04:46:19 PM did you not notice that bike was not stock! so what i jumped my yfz over a 100 foot table on stock suspension! notice the did not race it against a yfz! ??? also if gas gas was giving me free bikes and put me on the pay roll they would the best stock bike out to me too! ???

Exactly in Dirt Wheels you can see that it has Fox shocks on it ;) I can take my STOCK YFZ on a 100 ft step-up...Big-Deal the '06 LT-R is about $9000 OTD I could put about $2,000 in parts in a YFZ.. ;) What would you choose? Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: LT-R450ApK on February 01, 2006, 06:53:14 PM have anyone of you guys called and got a OTD price? because mine is almost 2000 less than everything i see posted
Justed ordered my bars,tires,kill switch,grips, and tires for mine ;) Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!!

It's hard to find a 06 YFZ or TRX for that price OTD. Either your GOD, in REAL good w/ the store owner, or pulling our legs. Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!!

I cleared a 120 foot table top with my vinson. I woulda gone for the 180 foot, but I had a tough landing when I jumped over the Empire State building and blew out my rear shocks.

Post by: Ride1Rob on February 01, 2006, 09:01:25 PM Well Rob to tell you the truth im dealing With the Owner of which is a friend and OTD is gonna Be Mid 7 So that explains your low price... AND I CALLED IT ;) . So you yourself can admit that the average consumer will end up paying what those guys in Cali were quoted. Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!!

Post by: Da_Mtg_Man on February 02, 2006, 11:58:10 AM I heard last night that they were still on the ship out and not in port yet. It is supposed to be the end of Feb before they were in Fl. This is just what I heard so don't beat up the messanger. By the way, this info was from a Suzuki dealership owner.
Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: SkyHighT100 on February 02, 2006, 12:08:05 PM Last I heard, Florida and Cali were supposed to be the first to get them and that they are in some warehouse in south florida at the moment.. but just hearsay, theres no tellin

It is supposed to be the end of Feb before they were in Fl. This is just what I heard so don't beat up the messanger. By the way, this info was from a Suzuki dealership owner. You are probably right. I've been wondering why there aren't any picks in any ATV forums of anyone riding them. A guy took those pics I posted and he said it was at a dealership close to him in Cali. I dunno ??? SkyHigh... I don't know about that? Why would they have them shipped only to store them in a Warehouse? Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: SkyHighT100 on February 02, 2006, 12:23:17 PM They get shipped to a central warehouse first, the get distributed to each individual dealership... just like any other product. Hardly anything ever goes from the company straight to the seller... theres almost always a middleman somewhere, in this case the warehouse.

Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: Yamaha72 on February 02, 2006, 07:55:37 PM Im a yamaha guy but thats a sick quad!!!!!!!! thats all I'm going to say....
Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: svtbolt04 on February 02, 2006, 08:53:43 PM Not sure if this is cleared up yet, but being rear ended is VERY common in racing. Either you are in the way, or you come around a blind corner and hit a stalled bike.. It happens, you take the risks everytime you strap on that helmet. I dont think a bent up exhaust tip is going to make the bike slower or uncool, if anything it would give it attitude. I know if it plugs the hole, like a crimped like.. Then I could see where it could slow it down.
Bike looks nice, but for some reason it looks like a transformer. Title: Re: I hear they're out!!!! Post by: LT-R450ApK on February 02, 2006, 09:05:39 PM http://www.atvriders.com/atvnews/suzukiyoshimuraatvraceteam.html
