Ross and Alice Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 (edited) Will it be all that much improved? I have 2 built YFZ's. My son could use more suspention and power. We're buying another quad,, and waiting to see the Zuki before we drop the coin. I like the new fuel injected motors coming on the market. Probably will go the FI route from now on. Is the 06 honda 450 as good as it's touted to be?

superdave Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 just wait. im sure dirt wheels will be doing some 450 shootouts. also take notice at the dunes. remember the predaturd? that was supposed to be polaris answer to the hot quad competition. you dont hardly see any at the dunes. you see a alot of raptors and yfz 450's beacause they are great quads. if the new suzuki is great, im sure we will be seeing alot of them soon.

Good take Dave When the 650 jet ski hit the water I got burned big time. A real anchor. I learned a lesson to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Good take Dave When the 650 jet ski hit the water I got burned big time. A real anchor. I learned a lesson to wait and see. Im by far no skinny fella and i had a kawi650.. on a perfect glass lake... i was able to run 51mph on my standup... I was very happy to say the least... and i was the only one in our group who could jump the thing worth a darn too... i only managed like 5' outta a wake but for my fat a$$ that was nice..

rednekoki Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I was at Dumont this past weekend and ran against a stock Suz. 450; Im not impressed at all! Smoked his a$$ big time!!! My bike has only the standard bolt ons for a yfz 450. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budsponge Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 It's a Suzuki, you know it's gonna be bada$$!! I'm considering selling my '05 z400 so I can have the put away for one of the first ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednekoki Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 My Bad! I saw res. on the front shocks and assumed it was the new 450. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EY3BA11 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Elkas make some nice Rezzie shocks for the 400's Lots of stuff in the aftermarket for these things.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Elkas make some nice Rezzie shocks for the 400's Lots of stuff in the aftermarket for these things.. No ISBB, renekoki meant he saw reservoirs on the shocks just like the Z400's have stock. Remember Doug's shocks have those reservoirs, or can you even see past those purple shock covers.

wingnut Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Just my.02 but I think that suzuk is going to mop the yami's and honda. I've done way to much research on this quad. It is up to every race spec as much as a stock quad can be. Don't forget yoshimura pretty much designed that quad with Doug Gust(he has been mopping up the compitition on a z400.) Granted that is a super built factory bike. I am definately waiting to make a purchase 'till I throw a leg over that zuk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednekoki Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 The new suz.450 wont be any diffrent than the rest of the crap suzuki makes. If they were really serious about performance quads they wonld not have built the 400 or at least come out with a comprable bike to run with the yamahas. (Hondas arnt even worth talking about). I heard suzuki has been having alot of trouble with the fuel injection on their 4x4 quads; So i wouldnt be in a hurry to get the new 450; maybe next year they will have all the bugs worked out, Always a good idea not to buy 1st generation. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion I agree, I was set on waiting for the ''07 LTR's to come out but my dumb A$$ didn't stick to the plan and couldn't wait any longer....so I went out & bought an '06. My bad.

fctryblack84 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 to be honest with everyone ilove my ltr 450 (even when the lug nuts come off) i havent had any problems at all with mine..im thinking of re gearing mine for sand so i dont have to shift alot, but all my buddies who have the new ltr 450 love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad. Wow Dont be so rough on yourself. I also got the 06 and love it!! For the little amount of money I have spent on aftermarket parts I couldnt be happier with the performance and reliability of the bike overall I am glad I didnt wait till 07 I am enjoying this dune season with a new bad a$$ quad that I didnt have to dump a sh*t load of time and money into. Oh ya and the rednek0ki now knows(night drags) the out of the box performance of the crap suzuki sells will run his piped yfz up the hill any day.
