At the company im guessing they make them by hand pretty much like the welds. but they cant do that if there mass pruducing it. so machines do that but to the walsh design.

Im pretty sure those are just on Gust's machine because hes sponsored by Walsh, but the a-arms are just stock....but you could be right.

You know what, i dont care how bad suzuki shot themselves in the foot by making it an MX bike. I LOVE IT. lol they have plenty of money, i dont.

So i guess it sucks for you XC guys, better luck next year:cool:

A lot of you guys keep saying "what about the GNCC guys" "It's to wide for GNCC races" etc. etc........41.6 inches wide? Thats really narrow, Cannondale Blazes'/ATK 450VRs' are 46.4", and those are factory GNCC race bikes.

Going with that...everyboy also keeps saying this is a purebred, out of the box, MX race bike....again...41.6"? Cannondale Motos'/ATK 450MXs' are 50....factory MX bike.

ANOTHER thing, goes with the "race ready" thing everyones talking about. Thats no where close to race ready...at least no more race ready then a 450R or YFZ.

Come on... Blazes', Motos', 450MXs', and 450VRs' come with Number plates, nerf bars, a tether killswitch, beadlocks,.....among many other things.

I know I bring up Cannondales/ATKs a lot, but no body gives them the credit they deserve, they are trully race ready, and have been since late 01 early 02.

And don't give me any of this "reliability" bull***** we always get. Yeah, they had there problems...but Cannondales were SO far ahead of there time, and still are. Also, you can get a brand new ATK, which has absolutly NO problems. So if you want to give me this "how are they race ready when they break all the time" crap...look at the ATK's

the lt-r is 49" not 41.6" wide and they are much more race ready cause you will not have to buy a arms and shocks they are fully adjustable.

10 outta every 500 of a cetain quad sold are used for MX only... suzuki basically just cut their sales in half... how many people buy 450rs, yfzs, etc just to trail ride and play around the house... or run a dual set up so they can do a lil bit of both... alot...

i imagine they'll release a narrower version soon... if not to be a weekend warrior around ur house ur gonna need to narrow it down...

MX is getting bigger every year and Suzuki is making an effort to bring the cost of racing MX down some what. So this is a big deal for the peolple getting into MX.

The biggest part of Suzuki sale's is made up of street bike's so people like you don't want to buy this quad thats not going to matter to them.

I dont know, if they had the gearing on the motor set perfect, I think it would deff be a nice contender, I remeber seeing a crf250 motor in a 450r here on the site.

Do you actually think they are going to race it with the shocks? I mean, no work done to them at all?? I have high doubts about that.

well ofcoarse there going to valve them to there wait and all that would be unheard of but its gonna be the same shock body springs and all. even when they aftermarket thay work on themlike crazy they rebuild them after everyrace.
