well all your answers are defiantly considered. I'm making a switch from a banshee over to one of the new 450's. But since the market has changed drastically with new bikes from all the manufacturers it's hard to make up my mind on what to get. The new 09's from can am as I mentioned above look pretty sweet especially the mx version. But as I read around on different forums I hear about the frames crack in certain areas, or the motors isn't as strong as other bikes. Overall I'm definitely looking at a fuel injected bike that can be ridden with no frame or motor issues after I buy it. So if anyone has any input on the other fuel injected bikes and how they compare to other models please let me know whats up.

ive not heard of the frames cracking. or motors not being strong. The only problem i can find is a weak clutch. But ive got a hinson clutch on it now

the frames are really strong, iv rolled my 08 DS about 15-20 down a hill and only thing that broke was my front tire comming off the bead, not even a single mark on the plastics or cracks or anything anywhere, **** my bike was still running and it was sideways and it ran still for about2-3 mins tell i could ru down the hill and grab it!, the rotax is a great motor just lacks a lil bottem end stock but with mods i hear it really opens up, i spank all 450's around here at the dunes esp in the top end, the DS has most top end of all the 450's in class! **** im even on the stock clutch still and it handles very well doin 2-3rd gear pops

the only thing i hate about the ds450 is the axles bend really easy, the back breaks goin out, the clutch squeal but thats all minor things except the axle.

The KFX450 is a really great quad. Goodluck on what you choose.
