The reason is I think is the KTM's are going to cost a lot more then most other quads. KTM's are good bikes and from the factory they are hard to beat BUT IMO you can take a 04 or 05 Honda 450R pick one up for $2500 P&P the head, high comp piston, Big Bore kit, full set of shocks, skids, tires...

Just take the Honda and put a $125 Stage 2 hot cam, $199 HMF slipon and find a used HRC head pipe on ebay or the 450r forum cheap, do some air box mods for FREE, jet it and you will have a very strong running 450 with more low end then any other 450 besides the KTM. If you are riding trails you...

Like said before.. every 450 has it's flaws.. You may get one and not have a bit of problems out of it and you may get one and have nothing but trouble out of it. I had a 05 450R which is suppose to have crank issues but I changed the oil about every 10 hrs and put about 200 hrs on it and no...

agree with this 100% I loved my Honda 450r. If it wasn't for the fact I only trail ride I would still have it. The Honda is the cheapest to mod and once done hove the most low end of any 450 and can be made to be the fastest. Most ppl don't give them the time of day b/c from the factory they...

now just find a Blaster frame and put that 400 motor in it and you'll have youself one bad ass quad

Already been informed on Raptorforum about that. But they told me they sell a regular ball joint to replace them with if I have any troubles.

Yep that's my wifes 01 Trail Boss... It's a fixer upper but I only got $200 in it and the only thing left to do is replace the tie rods and ends, new chain, and it needs a new belt housing. It runs and rides right now, just needs that to make it right.

For now they did.... There is a 250R coming sometime in the future

Yep that's why I said the first thing it gets is new front shocks... They have no uptravel with the new a arms on it and I can't keep the front tires on the ground. They are not that bad on the trail but land hard on a jump. I'll be upgrading before long though.. Power is Great even with the...

07 Raptor 700, +2 a arms, wheel spacers in the rear. everything else is pretty much stock for now.. First thing I"m getting is new front shocks.

Oh and someone asked.... I bought my 450 last year for $3000 and sold it this year for $3500 and then bought the Raptor 700 for $3000 so I made $500 and got a years worth of riding out of it.... I'm not downing the 450's at all... they just are not for me and my kind of riding. Maybe on the...

must have been new... My seat is soft as can be.. With mine being widened 6 in the front and rear it doesn't seem to tall at all.. I can whip it around like nothing and it never feels top heavy... I can see though if it was widened it might feel like you are to tall on it. Like I said in my...

Well I bought the Raptor 700 today and I"ll tell you it has way more low end then my 450r did. It has a +3 front a arms and +3 rear end so it's really stable.. The only thing I got to do is get some long travel shocks for the front b/c the stockers are not going to work very well.. IMO it...

If you read a little closer I said I sold it for $500 more then I bought it for

Just for the hell of it I put my 05 Honda TRX 450R on craigslist for $500 more then I bought it for last year and sold it in 2 days. It had a really expensive suspension on it but the only problem was it was setup for 180 pound rider and I"m 230 so I was bottoming out the rear shock a lot and...
