Of course I have to say the KFX450 is the best..... after all it is the one sitting in my garage![]()
Gotta love that phrase!!!! I run circles around the guys I ride with and I have the smallest bike. I don't quite know what to choose for myself. Wasn't even thinking of buying a new 450 for another year but my girlfriend left me so I guess I will have the extra cash to spend on myself this holiday season. Ok back up one sec.All due respect to you Mr. Psychosis. Fast riders go fast on anything. Enjoy your KTM.
If thats want you think stick to the other sites,i've had them all kfx all the way. Nothing starts out perfect.the kfx and the ltr are the two slowest bikes out in the 450 class. kfx needs major airbox mods to allow the motor to breath worth a damn and even then its still got gearing issues, wandering steering & hard as hell seat. All it has goin for it is the fuel injection and reverse if ur into that sort of thing. All the aluminum and its still heavier than almost all the other 450s. YAMAHA BABY!
They always hold back on devlopment, its good for the aftersales market and good for next years model sales.You can make any quad out run any other thats how its alway been and always will be.I not a fan of ktm but that does not make them any better or any worse just not for me.If the yz shines your penny thats fine.True nothing starts out perfect but with all the extra years they had getting the kfx on the market they coulda done a lil more tweaking on it. Im sure every 450 has its strong/weak points but i havent heard much good of the kfx from everyone i know that rides one. It is an odd looking machine but i do think its odd in a good way. But lets face it...as good as the kx450f is they shoulda made the kfx blow everyone away on the quad market. Look at the KTM? now they did thier homework and gave us possibly the pefect quad hands down but im sure yamaha and honda will do sum major changing on thier 450s for 09 to try and change that.
Not to start here. But i raced with a yfz for the past 3 years. And it does not even compare to the kfx. Have you acutlly rode the kfx? Yes there heads are very restricted and there seats suck. The yfz seat wasent to much better. Yfz wasent faster either. LTRs are prob the fastest out of the box? hondas are prob the slowest. But honda motors have alot more potential then the other quads out there. Ive seen 65hp stock bore hondas. Most ive seen out of a kaw yet is 61hp out of stock bore. yam wasent up there. I loved my yamaha. but id pick the kaw over it any daythe kfx and the ltr are the two slowest bikes out in the 450 class. kfx needs major airbox mods to allow the motor to breath worth a damn and even then its still got gearing issues, wandering steering & hard as hell seat. All it has goin for it is the fuel injection and reverse if ur into that sort of thing. All the aluminum and its still heavier than almost all the other 450s. YAMAHA BABY!
