Richard Travelena and his dad started a Kawi dealership in Uniontown, PA around the time of the GNCC banquet. Well, on Christmas Eve at midnight someone thought it would be funny to light the dealership on fire. They managed to save all the machines, but not the buildings. The are in the process of rebuilding. If anyone wants a new Kawi or would like to help them please call them at 724-434-2500. They are very nice people and friends of mine and it just sucks that bad things happen to good people.

You bonehead your POS TRX450 frame is just as weak as the Z400 frames use to be.

Hey Popo why do u say "use to"? Is this something they fixed? Im thinking one of these for XC setup so i can keep the 450r MX trim;)

Yes Suzuki did some extensive testing and fixed some of the early frame issues.

That is true, my buddie bought a new Z400 back when they first came out, and After about 3 months or so he frame cracked, and he sent it back, and when they sent it back to him, A WHOLE new frame!
