400ex to ltr-450 is it worth it?

[mach5racing4]

I have a decently hooked up 400ex with everything in my signature done to it plus a little other stuff. I was wondering is it worth the money to sell my ex and upgrade to the ltr450? $7 G's is a lot of money to spend. I will spend it if its worth it. but i dont wanna spend a ton hooking it up just a CB, remove the exhaust restriction some nerfs and a front bumper. What do you guys think?? thanks

Motor wise take off the lid/exhaust baffle, add $40 Cherry bomb and for tight trail riding you will have all the power you need.

so its worth it? i love the ex but fuel injection and all the other trick mods on the ltr are so awesome i feel i need one now

I love mine!! Knock on wood...Knock knock knock!! I have had NO troubl3es with mine.. The power is REALLY good and SUPER smooth.. I am just breaking it in and have NOT done the upgrades to it yet.. But so far I like it.. And I have just come off a 01 400ex..

Let me think..... Um YES. Its like a comparing a taurus and a corvette. Do it and you won't regret it.

mach5,

I am a honda owner.. I have owned just about every sport honda made.. I was going to buy a 450R.. And it took alot of research and thinking.. And I bought the LTR.. I like it as well as any honda I have owned.. I dont like buying a first year model.. But I bought the extended warrenty to hopfully cover any bugs.. But so far I am very impressed with the LTR.. I did have a couple loose ends I have to torqe but I do that on any new quad..

I hope you think about it and buy what you think is right for your style of riding..

The LTR isnt right for everyone..

My coolant reserve tank was bearly bolted on.. I have a couple loose hose clamps and a few other minor bolts loose..

I go around and check every last bolt if I can.. It is better to safe than sorry..
