I work at a Kawi/Yamaha/Polaris/AC/Bombardier dealer and we got our first KFX450 today and I was able to drive it for a short time. From what I could tell, the motor was choked up, but had awesome throttle response. Reverse is a nice feature I do have to admit. But the thing I liked the best was how well it handled and steered. The ergos was excellent for me and I am about 6'3". Overall great bike from what I could tell. I probably wouldnt leave my YFZ for it though

I got to sit on one last night and have to say that I was worried that it would feel as small or smaller than the YFZ, which feels like a power wheels to me (And I am only 5-10) But I too was surprised that it fit me similar to the Honda 450 which I like. Overall it looked like they did a good job with it. The only thing I would change asap is the concrete seat....That was as hard if not harder than the original YFZ.
