i am 6'5" and about 260 and i feel very comfy on my kfx. it pulls me around everywhere i go and doesnt bottom out when i jump either, usually jump no more than 20-30 ft.

KFX450r or the TRX450r

for a big guy the raptor 700 is a direct hit
that thing has room, torque from bejessus,and all the creature comforts like e start, reverse,soft seat.
the yfz is fast but feels cramped to me (6' 220)
the kfx needs bugs worked out and more power
the ltr sets too low (no clearance) and the width hurts it
in the trails/woods but if your going to race tt or mx get it.

you didnt include the 450r ?

what type of riding you going to do ?
dunes.........xc.........mx........just 4 fun ?

it has all the power i need, doesnt seem very under powered to me, i had a highly modded 440 that had just about everything motor wise done to it and in stock form the kfx had more balls everywhere

sorry, I was compairing it to the other 450's

I have only rode one kfx450 and seat of the pants felt good but when I raced my buddy on his 700 raptor (100% stock)
he blew me away.
we swapped and the kfx was still 4+ length behind in 275-300'

you can make anything fast

I was compairing the
4 options he listed to each other

well im bit chubby myself and of course im gonna say jump on the kfx brother, mainly cause you said you dont care for racing and mostly trail ride and the kfx is geared for that plus reverse, but otherwise if you think reverse is for losers like some people do or theres somethin you dont like about the kfx, get a honda then it just may be what your lookin for, the ltr isnt for trails and im not fond of the yfz and the raptor is a fine choice except well.....its a yamaha.
