Kawasaki KFX 450R ATV WORCS Racing Test Ride Review |
Round
seven of the WORCS Racing series at Glen Helen
Raceway in San Bernardino, California would play
host to the 2010 Kawasaki KFX450R debut. The date
is September 26th, and throughout the northern
parts of the U.S. the days are getting cooler
and shorter as winter slowly creeps southward.
In southern California however, things seem to
be heating up. |

| For
its 2010 Utility ATV line up, Can Am would bring
forth the industry’s first air controlled
suspension and a new power steering that is quite
a bit different then others on the market.

| Recently,
ATVriders.com was invited to a private practice
track to throw a leg over the 2009 Gas Gas 450 Wild.
Now it is hard to call this model new when it was
originally released in 2004, however Gas Gas has
brought the 450 to new levels with some changes
and updates that have this model ready to go head
to head with most any 450cc machine on the planet!

Ride Review |
| Turning
the key on the Polaris Sportsman XP 850 twin and
hearing it rumble to life makes you want to go fast.
There is no denying that the 70 hp on tap is usable
for more then going flat out down a trail, but let’s
face it, we all dig power and speed! |

Yamaha
Rallies Behind The Rhino 700 FI Sport Edition SxS |
| Since the fall of 2003, Yamaha has
had a target on its back. That was the year Yamaha
launched the innovative 2004 Rhino 660 Side-By-Side
vehicle. Although it was not the first side-by-side
machine, the Rhino took the off-road industry by
storm and wowed consumers worldwide. Unfortunately,
its own success and impressive growth created another
target. Misinformation, a few irresponsible consumers,
false press releases and attack ads by plaintiff
attorneys on Google and TV have placed the second
target on Yamaha and its Rhino. |

YFZ450R Versus Yamaha YFZ450 ATV Review |
| With the start of the 2009 ATV racing
season just around the corner, it was decision making
time on what quad to race for the 2009 GNCC racing
season. I have raced the Honda TRX450R the past
couple of years with great success, but with the
Honda GNCC contingency cut in half for 2009, there
really wasn’t enough of an incentive to race
another year in the GNCC series on the Honda 450R.
