LTR450???

I was in the market for a new quad and since I mainly ride MX, was thinking of the new Suzi. However if you read the forums, it seems like there's a few problems with them. Mainly, transmissions. Anybody own one or hear of any horror stories with these quads?
Thanks

I have heard that there have been a lot of issues with weak frames and as a result the frames have been cracking out on the track!

All of the 450's (Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha) are excellent machines, and they all have their share of problems. I personally have a YFZ450, which is an excellent quad.

If you're going to MX, then you will at least need to spend $$$ on shocks.

I'll just let GTThunder work the stockers. Swap Handlebars, nerfs, muffler, Cherrybomb, then maybe tires, that's it. But not if the tranny is going to fry itself.

I love the YFZ but if I bought a new quad it would be a Suzuki for sure.

I would say go with what you want. I have all three except the ltr450 I HAVE TRX450 05 it has 4 cracks and and one break in the frame from mx allready.a 03 z400 with 1 break so far and an 04 yfz450 has been the best overall with no breaks and its seen harescramble and mx tracks.

Wheel spacers are about as safe as an open-faced helmet.

I like all the 450's...plus Kawasaki is coming out with their 450 soon. I'd take any of them. I guess it's just a matter of personal choice.
I have a Honda and I love mine. Never had any problem with it ever.
If I had to shell out the money, and I were buying a new 450.
I'd get a Honda....
But I'd buy a Yamaha if I needed a weed whacker. Those guys make one hell of a weed whacker. It works great when it's not broke down. But I hear they're making like 90 + changes to next years weed whacker.
And I hear Suzuki makes a really nice scooter for old people, it's electric and has a basket on the front. And when you back up it make a really cool....(I don't want to ruin the surprise).
Of course, I might just be a little biased.
