Need some advice

[400exrider26400]

So im in the market for a new bike.My 400ex is just to slow now..
i wanted to know what would be better for trail riding
the trx450r,yfz450 or the kfx450 ?
the thing i like about the kfx is that it haves reverse.
But some says its the slowest of all 450's
is that true?

in stock trim it's under powered compared the the other 450's. but most of the problem is due to the restrictive intake..but if you're just trail riding you won't notice much. just change the front sprocket.i went up to a 15 tooth and noticed a big change. and my bike is all stock..

well if i buy one ill eventualy put an exhaust and a k&n filter on it so that should give me the power its missing from the other 450's.

For the woods the KFX is the best from what I've seen. I haven't rode any other 450s personally but when I ride with other 450s I can always keep a good lead on them until a straight away comes up, but in the woods with tight technical trails the KFX feels right at home.

Hoe reliable is this bike compered to the other 450's ?

Dont have any experience with other 450s but mines doing pretty good and I ride it pretty hard in the woods. only thing that sucks is the starting
