so... when do ya think the 2007 lt-r450 is going to come out and what do you think they are going to change on it?

the way suzuki works is they wait till the competition comes out with then kicks it up a notch but they have to change some thing because they wanna sell the new machines.if they didnt poeple would just get an 06 new(left over) or a 06 used to save money.there goal in the selling game is to get the poeple who bhought an 06 to buy an 07 so the will definately change some things

Top 2 things I see them doing.

Strengthening the rear linkage mount.
Softening up the stock suspension a bit.
And the normal array of anual updates including a "bold new color" oh wait, I'm thinking of the 300ex anual update.. lol.

The stock suspension goes from stiff to way too soft for MX after the shocks break in, and I mean soft(yes I adjusted). I think a good respring/revalve will be good for most folks. The only setback is the ball joints on the stock arms aren't replacable, so when they go out i'm going Long travel.
