    now we got some

    Now that the Big 3 all have 450 machines and lets put Polaris and cannondale/ATK in the mix. what do you think would be the best overall bike based on the performance, durability, quality of the factory parts and materials, design innovation ect ect. How would you rate them? in each catagory I like the fact the polaris comes with steet braided lines, doulgas rims, suspension not like your everyday pogo stick that was probally better than the 400ex or Z400 at the time. . As with every bike there is always room for improvement. I sure hope Kawasaki comes out with there new Tecate 450 soon?????

    i still believe that the honda is the best for duribility and quality, im not sure on the performance yet because i havnt ridden the 06 R or Z, but my 05 R is a beaughtiful piece of machinery.

    why does everyone hate the 06' R now.. because its faster stock and everything is better?(except that gay head light) oh well nothing can be done to please some ppl.. its kinda like when the 05 400ex came out.. everyone hated on it for no reason.. oh well its the way of the world
