Well, there are pros and cons to them for sure.

But the thing I like most about this bike is the fact that the cons are all only minor little bugs to work through. There are no known serious issues of any type.

Kawi sure took their time in releasing this quad.... and I have to say it really shows in the finished product.

You are looking at trading used and built for used and built, so rather it's worth it or not is a hard call from my perspective. I don't have anything to go on there...


In the end though, it would seem like you are looking for something new to try or something better. To be honest there is not much else in the 450 market beyond the rest besides a better chassis and EFI.... both of which the KFX-R has.

So I think it would make you a better base quad because of the chassis and potential.... and you would have EFI to tool around with.

Pros :
Easy to work on
Awesome fuel-injection setup
Handle good
Look sweet

Cons :
Weak Rods
a bit slower than the hondas and suzukis

dont listen to what people tell ya though. Each quad has its good things and bad things.
