[exboy]

i searched and i couldnt find an answer. when are the z450's comin out i heard it was gonna be in the spring. is there even a for shure date? im askin cus i really want my step dad to get one and if they dont come out soon hes prolly gonna get a yfz.

[Punk'd]

Rumer is Oct I believe.

[exboy]

i hope its not any longer than that. Not nockin on the yfz's but if the z450's are as bad as i hear i would deffinately take one over a yfz.

suzuki dealershow is first week-end of october

There sure has been a lot of hype over the new Suzuki 450. Hopefully, it's not just all hype, and there's some truth to it. ATV Sport had a small article that said EFI, long-travel suspension, and MX width a-arms/axle from the factory weren't out of the question. I know it's just rumors right now, but ATV Sport won't normally print just any BS. If what they say mostly true, there's a very good chance I'll be riding yellow this winter.:D

[exboy]

yeah but i think that he will probably get the yfz b/c he owns a computer store and a local dealer told him that he would trade him a yfz for coputers.

[400exrules]

i guess im the only one that has one:confused:

[MR.BIG]

I think its probably all hype. Honda is the way to go in my opinion!

[Dupontster]

A guy I know said he'll have the first one in some place in virginia, I forgot the name. He said he'll have it sometime in october.

So you buy a honda 450r for $6000 and then put $4000 into and say bye bye to the suzuki!

I guess an exhaust for $900 is gold plated. All I am saying is you can get alot for $4000. The motors don't really need alot of work because they are pretty quick with a pipe,cam and piston. Soon we will all find out what this thing is going to have instead of hear say.

You can get a good exhaust for about $500. Sparks HMF Rossier CHM! I guess its all preference. But you are correct I haven't looked at up white brothers in a while I use to run the E-series on my 400ex!

how many times does someone have to explain this to yall. long travel doenst cost that much more to manufacture than regular supension, at the most it will be 1000 more to make it long travel all around ( i think it probably really closer to 500 ) the exhaust is the same way, they said a trick exhaust so you can have the coolest exhaust in the world and still make it out of aluminum (which is actualy cheaper in japan than stell is ) i estimate that if this bike is truely race ready itll cost 8000 to 9000 max

[zeppelin]

it will cost alot more, but think about it, how much more meterial and time would it take to make long travel vs standard a-arms. the reason everyone thinks this quad is gunna cost so much is cause 1 aftermarket parts are extremly over priced 2 they are baseing it off of what a race ready quad that they built would cost ( suzuki isnt going to build a 450z with reg arms suspension and exhaust, then go buy elkas and roll a-arms with a wb exhaust)

that was their first magazine ever, so how do you know if they print a lot of bs or not?

and id take a 450r over a ltz450 just because of how i ride, but if i was serious into mx i would reconsider. and btw, dont forget nothing at all is confirmed.

id say its gonna be over 10g's as well, and id rather have a 450r with at least 4g's into it than a stock susuckie

I'm pretty sure I have a copy of atv sport from when the yfz first came out in 04.

EDIT: Nvm, the magazine I have is ATV World....I think you meant Quad Magazines first magazine, I thought ATV Sport been out for a while?

[thrasher_ex]

oh **** sorry man i thought you were talkin about quad magazine for some reason
