can-am is makin a new bike every week.lol
can-am 800, renegade, ds-450

NA----- I say Raptor700 or yzf450. The LTZ450's from Suzuki are nice too. IMO  :)

Stock it will be the baddest 450 yet.

im not gunna lie i think thats about the ugliest bike ive ever seen.

Quad Boy you could not have put it in better words. I think it is even worse than their DS 250.

i think some of u dont understand they did want to make the prettiest bike out there they built it to perform well and i think they did a great job at it. this deff. raises the bar in the indusrty and all the other companies are going to have to do there homwork. you will deff be seeing me on one of these in the near future!!

here are some pics of team can am/epic racing ds this is jeremy schells he will be using in the worcs series also a link to some videos http://www.atvriders.com/atvreviews/canam2008ds450sportatvvideos.html

looks good, but only time will tell.   NA!!!!

that thing is crazy lookin.i hate the front of it though!!its real ugly but like you said its built to perform. plus you could always get another set of fenders that look better...maybe

The DS250 is only one year old, so, there's not enough customer feedback to compare it to other comparable brands. However, it's price tag is several hundred dollars less than the competition and features oem(vs. aftermarket) accessories such as skid plates, a-arm protectors, bumpers, etc. which are not available for comparable models. My 2003 Outlander has 3,700 miles on and still going strong despite many underwater adventures. The 450 will get a lot of attention, but, why no reverse? And, they also now have a Renegade 500.

the race bike looks pretty intense not to bad. kind of like a locus lol.

so, how would one go about pullin the engine outta that?seems to me there are two aluminum bars in the way. also whats with that little resivoir*sp?* right there?it looks odd, so this thing looks like it would be really hard to work on...

Those bars unbolt. The frame has no welds. Check out the website. Then make an educated statement.

thanks, but you dont have to be so snooty about it

I didn't mean to come off the wrong way. I should have worded it differently.

WHY are all the new 450s so effin tall?! Will we ever have another low center of gravity machine like the 250R? I swear every new 4 stroke that is out now has the seat where the top of the gas tank was on the 250Rs. Sheesh.

the bike looks good for a bike that has been setup to race. now lets see one out the box like they will be selling them at the dealers cause they sure as hell wont be rolling out looking like that.

Look at the first 2 pictures in the thread.

for some reason those two didnt load up when i first opend the thread.

I like it.  Not the best looking quad ever but its nice.  From what I read its suppose the most powerfull 450 on the market.  If they price it right Id buy it.  I'll have to wait for a year or so.  FYI--dont ever buy something in its first year of production--odds are it will have issues.

Unless it's a Honda.

you couldnt have said it better..LOL  8)

That thing is nice

honda all the way. but did u check out the new 08 450er. it has only a 2.7 gallon tank its longer than the 07 and is alot higher then the 07. but the color is awesome. ohh and the ds450 will be the most powerfull 450 out there. yea it is ugly but its all about the performance.

That thing may be not welded but no u cant unbolt the frame! Most of it uses a clamp on stud that cant be removed! Which sucks cause if u bend the subframe ur screwed!

its pretty nice but i still want the kawi!! ;D

I would be willing to give my 07 yfz 450 away just to keep people off that piece of trash. Looks like a tinker toy.

i think i have just enough room for a 07 yfz if you want to give it here so i don't buy a ds 450

Sorry its just to much bike for a young buck like you.

The bike is built for speed.  I ride a YFZ and I love yamaha, but this bike is gonna blow it away.


The Kawi's suck lol

Check this if you took that pos and i took my yfz and we both are covered in mud head to toe. do you know what would set us apart? the diffrence would be... Id still look good and you would be on a muddy tinker toy.

there is no such thing as too much bike for me, lol is it stock or are you giving me a modded yfz?

....  You wouldn't catch me covered in mud on my YFZ or a DS


Go look at all 7 of his posts, I think he is intimate with his YFZ

yfz  :-* me all day baby all day.

i love how everyone is already saying its a peice of crap when they havent even ridden it yet. So what some of you are saying is who cares how it performs i want my bike to look good. This bike has been under wraps since 2001 and they did their homework on it. I think you will be seeing alot of can ams on top just as you see in the utility classes. i mean top 3 on almost every holeshot are can ams they build fast strong reliable bikes and i think this 450 will be just that.

That maybe but God himself would ride a yfz... im just sayin..

and i own 2 yfz's but theres something about changing motors out every 2 weeks because the stupid things dont hold together that i get sick and tired of. im not going to lie i love the yfz's they are fast and ive pulled many holeshots and won many races but they just dont hold together

Jake he just got his YFZs. Let him find out himself  ;)

well, i hope this isn't part of the race strategy, or they were just in a hurry

Well I have 2 of them myself and both working like a champ.  :D    Sounds like your all about keepin a yfz brother down... maybe you should trade down to a honda..

I think you put the wrong year in the birthday part of your profile...........

29 ???
or
9 ???

I don't think you understand, you said you have an 07 YFZ, OF COURSE it's still running strong.  You don't sound like you race so atleast your engine won't have work done to it, but the whole mudding comment? Goodluck keeping both those bikes running after a year or so.  My YFZ is out of commision right now, engine blew up at the last race and it's an 06.  Oh and the Honda comments? Look at everyone of the GNCC and WPSA races.  1. Honda 2. Honda 3. Honda and on and on....  I understand a little brand bias but give it a rest lol

Never yfz till i die fool....  ;D   or until my engines blow.... then i get new ones and blow them....

i can see the only soultion to this issue is to get out and ride..  8)

hey fdndantpa, don't start off your time at this site like this, you don't want to, all the people around are so nice and want to help an you've been on the site for a day? and you already want to start crap with people? sure the yfz is an awesome bike and there are other awesome bikes, i love my banshee just as much as you love your yfz, take a chill pill, you don't see all these others arguing about how they ride best quad around

Well you're in tampa, how about you come to the track next time we go?  My brother has a couple LT-Rs and a friend has a honda.  I'd love to see that beast YFZ against either of em  :D

I don't think you have a quad. Lets see a picture.

I dont know if i want to come to a track your at. All you seem to do is let hondas pass you.  Like you said #1 honda #2 honda #3 honda. sad so sad. Why cant you make #1 Yfz why why why.. Nobodys bashin anybody here im just a super yfz supporter.   Dont hate... besides that im not a racer i just bought a yfz cause i had extra money layin around... and yfz's are the best so i got me one. but i cant wait to go muddin in that beast. if it blows it blows who cares. i got another. Why cant a brother blog a bit about his ride...

i wanna see this beast! come on wheres this pic at?

My dad can beat up your dad!!

My dad died in the US army serving to protect your right to ride. (and others) not cool.. not at all. joking around about whos bike is best is one thing you sir went to far. 

Sorry to hear about your dad. That still doesn't change my opinion of you.

So where is the picture of your so called 07 YFZ?

good luck muddin in that pieace of crap yfz. the only good yamahas out there are the banshees and raptor 700. yfz are a nothing but crap. i know by experience.

as u can see the title of this thread is can-am ds450. y cant anybody stay with the subject

 :D

This will be my last reply to this off topic part of the post

Call him out and you see NO picture

because he has NO quad.

haha you dont have a bike probably.Oh yeah your yfz is a pos and its going to break.And my banshee is better than your yfz lol Anyways that ds-450 is looking nice.If I dont get a jetski now I think I might get a rappy 700 or a ds-450.I rather wait first and see how they do.And FDNDANTPA wers the pic of your bike??????

he has no quad let it go. just a lil kid coming in here and trying to start something

Are they even in dealers yet???Im interested to sit on one and see how it feels

i think all of our quads will beat his, he got ripped off

http://www.alibaba.com/catalog/11257914/ATV_Quad_Yamaha_Yfz_450.html

I don't think they have even set a date when they will be available.

What kinda jet ski.. i got an ultra 150

wow the kid has a ultra 150 and a 07 yfz lol

I bet it's faster than all the other jet skis

It was at one time but now they have advanced so its not.

sounds like the yfz

watch out i have a kawi ultra 250x wanna race

i think that it will be out 2008 or 2009
