For reliability I like the 450r from Honda...Honda is known for it's durability and craftsmanship.

The Suzuki 450 is probably the best "race ready" right off the show room floor if you're not planning on spending additional funds for mods and upgrades.

The Yamaha 450 seems to be the favorite of Dirtwheels Magazine who gave it higher reviews then both, but the Yamaha probably has the most mechanical problems. (I mean they made 82 changes in the bike from the '05 to the '06 which should say something right there).

I haven't seen the new Kawasaki 450 yet.

I ride a Honda 450r with upgrades, but I would take any of the 450r's that are on the market now. They all haul azz and are a blast to ride.

Wrong Rico

You still need nerfs,kill switch,bars (unless you like KO'in the stockers) and a few other things.



The Cannondale Blaze/Moto where the only true RACE READY atv's...right off the showroom floor..add Numbers and race...yes they were expensive...but you get what you pay for..now all you haters shut up....They ahd there problems..but hell it was a Bicycle company...and for there 1st time w/ out all the funds the big 4 have...they did pretty damn good


Too bad we don't have it like the Dirtbike world...

Ummm... NO! Honda has had issues, Yamaha, and Zuk. Dreth got his bike (450R) a couple months b/f I got mine... His bearings went bad almost a year ago if not more and I was still riding. Mine just stopped a month ago after 2yrs and 6 months. Reason: My cam chain Damper broke. (That's only a $27 part). Since the bike had to be broken down I'm getting a rebuild. As far as the 82 changes... The major changes were bumping the bike up to a TRUE 450, changing the swinger, and changing the rear shock. The other changes were moving a few bolts and things around. And if I can recall, Honda had just as many if not more changes on their quad  Kiss . Suzuki is having more issues than any in their 1st year. But that's expected with a new quad.

There is NO BEST 450... Their all good quads and have their issues. Ride each and choose which one is best suited for you. If you're a loyal consumer like I am (Yamaha) go with whom your loyal to. You can't go wrong. Well unless it's a Kawi... not much to know about those.

They are joking.

But I would rather have a 240 blaster over a 400ex.

And I will say that my 450 is hard to work on and at times makes me want to sell it for another brand.. But its just a problem that I have for myself, not the bikes.. When it works flawless.. I dont want to sit on anyone elses bike, because mine is king.

I would think all you really need with an lt-r to start off is nerfs. You can deal with the stock tires for a wire, and I dont have a kill switch either, which will change whenver the h@ll I go to palmetto lol
