For all the "it's too wide for GNCC" and "it's too ugly" whiners: get a life because Suzuki didn't came up with the LT-R450 for everyone to like it and SPECIALLY for it to be used for GNCC racing or trail riding!! :blah: If it doesn't fit your needs and likes, just look somewhere else! There's plenty of options out there. But if you still want one to do what it wasn't supposed to do, customize it like all of us had to make it competitive!
i dont really know why the xc guys are complaining the polaris outlaw 500 came out pretty much specifically for them:huh
welp I guess my dad saw this thread hes getting one lol.. told me I have to sell my shee first though :ermm: :scary:
ya no kidden..thats why i put the :o after i said i cant wait...its only a deposit, its not a down payment or anything..it is fully refundable if i chance my mind. I put it on so early so i would have the first one...my dad did that with the rincon, but someone put it on 3 days before him...so i went soon as possible to get it done, just so i can mess with my dad about it...Quote:

Need proof? Watch it come out of his mouth:

Who races stock anyway?
All three bikes are going to be close.
Frankly Im not all that impressed with this release. As much hype that has been made about it I expected alot more. The shocks look generic, honestly. Polaris atleast uses Fox, a named brand. As far as the motor being that much better, How? A 450cc can only make so much power, period. The specs lead me to believe that the power will feel just like the Yamaha. From my understand the horsepower rating are almost same. The exception will be the EFI. I guess because its new to quads it supposed to be great but I had a 1989 chevy berretta with fuel injection and it was a piece of crap let alone a performance anything. I perfectly jetted carb will deliver the fuel as well as any efi system. Stock for stock Im sure the Ltr450 will beat a 450r and be right with a yfz. But if we have all learned anything from the arrival of all of the 450s is that Honda is the most upgradeable because they build their machines for durability. Which means they are very conservative but have a higher potential motor wise.
As far as Gust racing one stock, I hope he does then I know honda will win another title. There is no way a pro will race a stock bike. I read an article in QUAD magazine that said Tim Farrs bike was the same you can buy at your dealership. It then went on to say Honda added a different tranny for him baldwin reworked the whole motor and PEP did his shocks. But he didnt have to gusset the frame which was they only thing left stock. So maybe they will race with a stock frame.
Finally arguing about the number plate :ermm: ? Are we all that bored? I would like to think the engineers at Suzuki making ths most advanced quad EVER arent reading this post going(something in japanesse to the effect of) chit those Americans arguing on that website out did us again. we did forget the number plate on the first quad MADE for MX. That would be like forgeting the bathroom in the a new house.
Just my .02
the power should feel more like a updated 450 cannondale or an atk with its 4 valves and fuel injection and it weighs like 15 pounds more than the honda or yfz. but im sure its going to be a badass qaud and will have plenty to compete with anything out there but i dont really think its going to be alot better. i dont know about the suzuki a race ready qaud, the cannondale moto was the only raceready quad yet. i dont think it would help suzuki if they made it an mx only qaud. theres the xc guy and it seems to be alot of them and sand guys. i think they should just keep the price of the machine down so we can afford to set them up the way we want instead of paying 12,000 like the moto was and still wanting to change things anyway. besides isnt half the fun of getting a new qaud is customizing it to our liking and having it just a bit different than the next guy.
