Ds450 vs ltr450 vs yfz450r

[huntertaylor98]

Why and explain

[jlrenken]

Cuz the ride says it all. ;-)

[quadracermx]

First which ds450 are we comparing the base model, xmx or the xxc. Second what kind of riding will it be used for.

[huntertaylor98]

Mx

[blaster99]

The Can-am is lighter and in my opinion handles better. It has many stock components that do not need to be changed from stock to win at the national A class or even Pro-am level. The LTR and YFZ need to be fully modded and built. Its all about comfort. Sit on all 3, see which one you like the best. I didn't like the can-am when I sat on it, but I sure do love it now.

agree with blaster99 plus if you are going to races them they all have there little problem that need to be fix.

[blaster99]

I wouldn't let issues with the quads sway you. The can-am has the front frame rails that break, the YFZ also has frame problems, and the LTR has tranny issues. All of them have problems. I have only broken 2 sets of frame rails in 3 years on a Can-am, so if you are smooth you wont have much of an issue.

The Can-Am MX is ready race off the showroom floor once you add a slip on and larger intake. It already has the best mx tires, beadlocks, nerfbars, high end shocks. thats about 2-4k in savings right off the bat.
Not to mention how easy it is to get the factory racer program.
I don't race but if I did I'd buy the machine that supports the business.
But like the others said it is also what you are comfortable with.

[florentino]

they are all good. love the ltr but 3rd gear is worse then broken frame parts.

can not go wrong with the race program.

i would go for the one that last more.

you guys forgot honda. they cost alot to make them race ready but they are bullet proof

they all have weak points.

[dunner250]

what about a trx?

[blaster99]

If you have 20 grand to spend, a 450r might be your best bet, but if you don't have the money , I would stay away unless you don't mind riding a sub-par machine.

Which would win a drag race? And which one is better for sand dunes?

rotax motors are super good in stock form and will last for a long time.

a race trx is chaeper to build at 60hps and will last longer.

i have both and i am now going back to honda.

i am starting to see alot of hondas back in the mx races. i can t even touch them in the holeshots. yes hondas cost alot to build but once its done it will last many seasons.
