whats up i'm looking to buy a 450 and i am having trouble deciding on wich one to buy. I have rode the yfz and loved the power but after a all day ride i was not to inpressed with the seat or the thump contol. I have sat on a new 06 yfz and it semmed alot better comfort wise. I'm really liking the trx because of its comfort and how the controls are all right in reech. and i really like the ltr it is low wide and comfort wize its all good. I ride almost every were that i can. dirt,sand,track,and every thing els. i need some help just trying to get the most info befor spending the monye and trying to get the right one. so what do you think?

06 450r with an HRC kit is the way to go. I love mine.

I've always been a honda man my entire life. I have rode my friends new ltr450 a few times. All I can say is wow. Out of the box its the best handling atv I have rode. The power is nice and smooth throughout the powerband, making it very predictable. I haven't had a chance to ride the ltr fully uncorked yet.

If I was buying another atv i'd probly get an ltr just so I didn't have to widen it or do up the suspension as I had to do with my R :(

Now on the other hand my R still has more power up top, but its harder to use it all since im so light.
