The only brand that's delivering what the customer wants is Yamaha, but they haven't even updated the Yz125/250x in a long time. KTM is up on top because they have a new model every three years.

Ya don't fix what's not broken. No reason for Yamaha to put big R&D money into the YZ, they sell like hot cakes now. The X models has grown their market even more.

I think If I could drop as much money as I wanted then I would buy a KTM, but I can only afford used bikes and most of the used KTMs from 2009-2012 are garbage.

lil_squid My Ride Posted November 18 (edited) Funny how I created a thread specifically for quads and then the first thing i post is about bikes lol. I wish I could delete my own threads, because this one is kinda useless unless we talk about quads only Just abandon this lol Edited November 18 by lil_squid 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duCOD pro My Rides (2) Posted November 19 Have any of you had any 450 race quads. I have a 400 right now and am counting down the months until I will get a practice 450 (Only 11 Months!!!!). I'm buying used and am leaning towards a built DS450, but I know the YFZ and LTR is also fast. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WoodsRERider Posted November 19 Had an 06 LTR450. Tons of power and fun but not exactly woods friendly. Would love to see 450s made in mass again. Always also wanted a 400ex. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think a scrambler would work on a MX track. It would be super fun to own as a fun quad since red river is only an hour away from me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
