Decisions, decisions

[Jonesy]

OK i am going to break down and buy a new quad. The question i present to you is: Which one do i get? I am looking at the TRX450R, YFZ450, Predator, KFX/Z/DVX 400, or Banshee. Right now i'm leaning toward the YFZ b/c of the electric start. I ride a lot of creeks, muddy trails and such and i know that it sucks kicking a quad over when the water is over the tires, or stuck on a hill (had a 250x once). From what i hear the yamaha and the honda are about even power wise and handling wise. I was also looking at the z400 b/c of the electric start and reverse.

I ride mostly tight woods, i love hill climbing, i also do a little play racing with my friends, hit a few small jumps we made (10-15 ft). I also plan on racing some of the local harescrambles once i get my new quad. I need something that will fit my 6'-3" frame comfortably.

So what should i get?

Thanks

yfz all the way but since you need reverse...........i dont know.........z?

[Jonesy]

I don't need reverse or e start for that matter but it would sure be handy to have them.

I'm pretty much stuck between the honda and the yamaha with the polaris hanging on the edge. I just don't know.

I'd get the z400, I have heard that the 450's can be cramped, and I don't think the yamaha has much low end power compared to other 4 strokes. the z probably has a bigger frame, and reverse, and I definately wouldn't get a banshee, I had one, and it was good in an open feild, and the dunes and thats it!

in that case............YFZ all the way!

get a 450R ride red

YFZ...............the mighty 250R didn't have much bottom end either.Riding the YFZ to me is just like riding a 250R very smooth and lots of power.I love Honda just as much as the rest of you but the "button" is what made me make up my mind.
