Hey guys, I was wanting your opinion if this is a good deal or not. Close to were I live there is a dealer that is having problems selling his 08 inventory on the KFX 450r. He has a black one with the red tribal, brand new never even started b4 for a negotiable $5399. What do you guys think? This guy is known for his cheap prices, he has had new 450r Honda's for $4899. Anyways, I had a kfx400 but sold it, and my friends and I do the oppisite of what most people do and ride mainly in the winter. It is now that time again and I want more power!!

New out the door prices usually run $6400 and up. $5300. looks good if it's out the door. I guess you know the kfx450r's short comings. You won't have to do much to make it run tho. Drop the rear sprocket 1 tooth, there is a lot of vibration thru the bars so some type of anti-vibe would help and set up the suspension and it will flat out go fast & ride good. You may also want to wrap the head pipe with some header wrap. It gets mighty hot on the leg. The efi & reverse are both niceties on the kfx over the Honda along with electric start (I assume the Honda he has for sale is a 450r & kick only which is like $150 option.) To sum it all up, the kfx is $500 more than the 450r Honda but has a few more options (wave rear rotor, reverse, electric start, efi, aluminum frame, Renthal FAT-BAR handlebars, wheels have reinforcing plates and a very hard seat) that make it worth the extra $500 in my book. I have spent a little time on one and compared it to a yfz450r in the woods. The KFX was the hands down winner, IMHO.

i just gotta say that when someone asks about OTD pricing just remember that some of us (like me) paid over $7500 when the kfx first came out... and seeing the prices of all the 09 450's, that dont even seem that bad now... so id say go for it

Just bought a new green one on ebay for 4300 plus 350 shipping. I think anything in the low 5s is a good price. I paid 6450 OTD for my first one over a year ago.

5299 OTD? the lowest around here is 6k otd, most advertise 5500 but hav e 500 dealer prep, we're getting ripped lol when i bought my bike all the dealers were saying they were having a hard time getting rid of the kfx's they were basically the cheapest 450's
