ktm 505sx or yfz 450

So, i been thinkin lately that i work to hard and need to treat myself to a deployment present. I narrowed my search down to two atvs the ktm 505sx and the yfz 450 but my question is which one do i want? so if any of yall out there ride either please give you input.

 

neither ltr450 man you will love it or a ktm 450 thats the only 2 i would buy

 

KTM!!!

 

if you have the money to spend and dont mind paying for an overpriced quad....go KTM. if you want to save a little and make a badass quad....go yfz or ltr

 

We have a couple of sayings at our shop.
1. Friends don't let friends buy suzuki.
2. For those who don't know.......suzuki.

I'd go Kawasaki or Yamaha!

 

ive ridden the ltr its all right but i prefer the trx,yfz and the ktm of all the other bikes so really its between them three and knowing the influence my wife has on me lol ill probly end up with the yfz or the trx

 

i prefer the bike.
crf450r or cr500

 

I'd go Kawi or Yamaha..I'm a Honda man at heart but the TRX just plain SLOW as fuck. Suzukis suck, the YZF is a DAMN quick bike..I've rode one and it ripped my shoulders off almost, gobs and gobs of power..it's a tad faster then my KFX450 though..just a little.

My KFX450 is a jackrabbit and it's a 08...I've ripped new assholes on modded Banshees, tore up TRX's, made Suzukis go home, and other shit all day at Drags @ Pismo, and all I got is pipe and slight tweak on EFI system, and one down on gearing.

Lots of torque, easy to throw around, has reverse(find 450 race quad with reverse, sounds stupid but you'll LOVE it once you use it a few times), and easy to maintain.


Don't go Katoom..it might go KABOOM.

 

If you do a lot of track riding, get the KTM. If you just wanna hit up some trails and still do some track riding, get the YFZ. If you wanna get your ass handed to you every time, get the LTR or TRX.

 

orrrr you could get something that requires balancing... like a dirtbike!

 

Alot of people have the best of both worlds.


Once you get a 450 quad, you'll realize what your missing out on.
They are insanely fun..most of the time. Sometimes they are just a plain b1tch! and I wanna push it off a f^cking cliff

 

YFZ's do haul ass but I have actually heard alot of good things about the KTMs hard decision

 

Do you plan to race? Because if you are not planning to race or ride in sand only you should buy a 4x4. I had a yfz450 which i loved and i raced it 2-3 times a week and was able to whomp on everyone else but the second i took it on my trails by my house it sucked big time, got stuck a lot and was practically useless. Ktm's are also great but they are damn pricey

 

ill be doing alot of just riding trails but i want to get into some light tracks, only reason im not getting a bike is because my wife want to be able to ride it on her own as well reason for the 450 and it being a quad, if it was just for me i would deff have a a crf450

 

Well I owned a YFZ450 for the past six years and there wasn't anything it couldn't do with some speed, track or trail and if I were to buy another it would be another one.

 

YZF

 

YFZ 450

 

I say get the crf450r or the kfx450 dirt bike that way you will have all the power you need.

 

2010 yzf 450 son! ill never stray from a real dirtbike, dont need them power couches! lol
