2006 Suzuki LT-R450 QuadRacer

duh.. the shocks gust and jones r runnin now, arent even done by elka, haha, noleen takes care off all of it,they take the elka shock , break it down, modify , put back together and it is three times better then when they got it, the catch is, regular people what he is runnin , and pays a butt load of money for the same shock gust runs, but it's nothin like it and never will be, thats y pros get stuff free, Heck they can let a free set go to a pro, b/c they make a heck of alot more off u people who try to buy the same crap as the pros, but end up just thinking it's as good as theirs, hahahahahahah it's awesome, i laugh at people sayin i'ma buy this cuz he runs this, some poeple are so ignorant

didnt say that elka did the work.... anywho

the fact is those shocks are obviously extrmemly good because if there were no better than hondas or yamahas then those pros would be running stock to. but heavily modified. the fact is no pro has ran a stock shock in this day and age no matter on the capabilities of it when its worked on. so to me they must be extremely good. also gust would not run stock shocks if they were not better than his elakas when they are both worked on the stock suspension must be better. but hey its just my opinion i havnt ridden on eiether. Gust can get sponsors (suspension) but if he decides to run stock and is that confident in suzuki that has to mean somthing cause if someone can any little advantage on another racer they will do it. money is not really an option because of sponsors.

Sold My Rm for a Z400,Sold It for my Vinson"4x4",Looks Like Im Selling It For the LT-R450 Now :D


Mad Props To Zuki for taking the time For the R&d
I dont Beleave we will be dissipointed

Suzuki might not be giving them a choice, just like Kory Ellis with the stock swingarm , they have a contract with suzuki, they do what suzuki says, thats y all the companies r hookin up with suzuki, but they r racing, stock b/c it will make people buy the suzuki b/c it will be race ready, (if u understand) but they dont understand all the hidden work there

ya me and some family questioned that too and brought that up but suzuki wants to win championship too. but u may be right. i tought that to. but i guess we wont know untill we see it perform or test it ourselves. im excited for the new season to start.

i just wonder if it will last

time shal tell

hhaha every sport quad out there comes off the showroom xc ready, think about this , what do all the xc bike riders ride..or the majority? mx bikes...the whole quad market needs to go in suzuki direction

I get a kick out of reading some of these posts. All that we have seen so far are some pics and what the "magazines" are saying about the Zuki race team.

First up to bat is the fact that D. Gust is not going to take a chance at loosing another national title by settling for third rate suspension and engine work. He could go privateer and be just as competetive, any given day. Note: Joe Byrd, Dunk, Little and others. ( Who do not have a major contract or backing by a major manufacturer ) sure they may get some spifs, but not the same as a full factory rider.

Second strike in this outing, is that not a single person or article from a mag ( that i have seen ) is shown having a quote from an official within the Zuki corp that states EXACTLY what they plan to do next season. I don't see them as wanting to roll out a stocker to the gates to get laughed at. They want a championship again!!! Not a consulation prize!!!! ( In business - He who SELLS the most toys wins )

Third strike is that why would Zuki take themselves out of GNCC contension? Yokely is not riding that bad this year. A new year also brings up new rider contracts. To make a stake in this sport you have to make a statment. Honda has one for MX " Natalie " & Yamaha has one for GNCC " Ballance " Zuki had a stake in the past last year with Gust and Yokely. They could have a good sucker punch up there sleaves for next year, just iching to get out. There not going to abandon all aspects of ATV for the better good of MX racing. GNCC is growing like a weeds, I see guy's set-ups in mags all the time stating that most riders add 1-1.5" width in there front ends. Guess what this has....?

This machine " I THINK" we be a good and wanted addition to the overall sport, not just MX. The corperate types know that to sell bikes or quads you have to win championships. Every body wants what the top guys have. I take my hat off to Suzuki for going out on a limb for our sport, and giving us a more versatile machine to base our individual racing efforts on weither it be MX, GNCC, TT, or BAJA. I think that with the right motivation and MODS, that this could be a major heavy wieght. Able to throw a jab or two into the eyes of Honda and Yamaha, and make this a more diverse experience for all of us that races.

ps........this is just my 2 cents...don't hate me because I'm beatiful....hate me because I'm right.

Havent tested it yet?!? From what i hear from a top level production racer, there have been 6 prototypes in the past 2 years. This quad has been tested over and over again, debugged, and the flaws are goin to minimal if any. Remember the days in 2004 when we first heard about rumors of a suzuki450...they were already testing it buddy. ;)
