Not a single vote for the Kawi?
I would not vote on something I've never owned or had a chance to ride??

I AM however looking forward to trying one out when they do arrive!!

Like I say, don't tell me, SHOW me!!  Grin

I think alot of folks have shown that the yfz450 is pretty much top dog. I think the LTR is coming up fast though.

QUAD Magazine has a good article about the KFX 450, from the two team racers.

NO votes for the Kawi 450?  I have seen a few out in the Dunes and the new owners seem pretty happy with them.

I've had the chance to ride all 4 and Yamaha got my top pick. The Yamaha seemed to do everything well; woods, dune and track, with a close Honda next, then Suzuki (too wide and low for trails, but electric type power), then the Kawi. I think the Kawi needs re-geared or a little more refining and I think it would put it closer to the Honda. I can't wait to get a Can-Am in and try it.

oregontrail,

You still have 3 more models to test in the 450 class.  The Can-Am that you mention and the Polaris and KTM ATV's.  Next year in the ATVA, GNCC, Worcs and WPSA races will be real interesting with all of the major manufactures getting involved.

I'm a fan of the KTM motor, they make a better woods bike than MX bike, so I'm guessing the quad will be the same. I didn't like the KTM/Polaris Outlaw with the indie read end, a straight axle will be better, but the motor was nice. I hope Polaris steps up in quality a little with their 450.

I had to update the poll with so many new models hitting the market.  I think Can-Am and KTM are going to give the Japanese Manufacturers a run for the checker next year.
