looking at sport quads

[laserstang21]

ok so im starting to look at a sport quad. im looking at the trx 450r, the yfz 450, the raptor 700 lmtd, the suzuki quad racer or if they release it on ime the yfz 450r. the yfz 450r is about 2 in. wider than the others and has a lil mor power. wat do you guys think? anybody have any of these?

I've got a 2005 trx 450r, and I love it. I've always been a Honda man so I'm a little partial to them. The yzf is a good bike and is known to be a little faster but the suspension and reliability I think on the Honda's are far better. I wouldn't go the raptor route.

I ride the piss out of mine and I've never had any problems.

Ive got the KFX700 and love it. It may not be the fastest, but with the power it has its a blast to ride in the trails or hit some jumps with

Get a raptor 700 and get exhaust, cam, intake, and tune and you'll kill any 450 there is, and if you wanna get real crazy there is a turbo kit for it.

Only place it will kill it is in a straight line. Take it to a dirt track and any good rider on a 450 will murder a raptor.

I have ridden quite a few different makes and types of Quads. There is not many that can ride a Quad with me and keep up. I know these are not on your list but they should be if you are looking for a good sport Quad. The BRP Renegade 500 or 800 or the BRP DS-450. There is nothing made by anybody that compares to what those 3 Quads can do right from the factory.

says the mustang driver on the mustang forums to all the mustang drivers.....isnt that all our stangs are good for anyway?

 

[laserstang21]

well it wouldnt make sense to do all that to a raptor just to beat the 450. so i think it will be the 450

get the TRX 450.. they are sweet bikes.. i have a buddy with a raptor 660 and i rape him on my CRF450.. specially in the whoops

I say the YFZ450. They are amazing quads that can run with the big dogs. There are better race quads, but for all around use such as trail riding the YFZ is awesome.

Find yourself a good honda 250R. You cant beat that 2-stroke powerband! My 250R with a slight bore, ported, full exhuast will kill any bike from the factory right now straight or track. Just the other day I raced a modded ds650 and left it ATLEAST 10-15 bikes behind. On a track you cant beat the 250R, thats what this bike is known for. Even on stock suspension (which I had) it handles better than others that are extended and have aftermarket shocks (which Ive proven on the track). The only other bikes I would consider are the trx450r or the cannondale moto.

The YFZ has the best power to weight ratio in it's class. Been a good quad for years, and they've finally fuel injected it for 09. I'd go for one... mainly because my senior mechanical engineering design group is building a race car using an older YFZ450 engine, and we are wishing we could get our hands on an 09 right now.
