Exactly as the title says. But also explain why you made your choice.:)

Should be interesting.

ltr, i look at my friends 400ex, my old 300ex, and his uncles 450, and they look relatively the same to me, the ltr is the only one of the 450s i see that is totally different from the others, its wider, sits lower....looks way kool, and is basicly race ready:devil:

You forgot Polaris MX450.

I would agree on the YFZ being the best looking 450 next to the KTM, but I like the old Quadracer look and orange KTM color.

As for the fastest and best handling, that's subjective. The DS has the best front end geometry going....don't take my word, you ask anyone in motorsports that does handling and suspension and show them the front ends of all the quads and all will tell you that the DS design is a far better design.

That also makes it feel maybe a little different than the others because ever since the Quadracer appeared, we have all grown up on quads that have poor front end geometry and grown used to that...I would suspect we see other companies take similar approaches to their steering in future models.

My list would be
DS
KTM
TRX
YFZ
LTR
KFX
Polaris 450.

LTR for me. It comes with wide A-arms which is gonna save me abuot a grand down the road. And its got fuel injection, alas no more jetting the carb.

Plus its a sexy little thing:devil:

i agree, the LTR 450 is set up for me off the floor a lot better than any other one, plus I think they look the best IMO :D
