[Motocrossguy17]

Hi so im going to be getting some cash every week and im going to leaving it in my bank until either next christmas or a year next january as im buying another quad . so im wanting to know which is better for speed and also handling.

KTM 525 Quad
Honda TRX 450
Yamaha Raptor 660 Or 700
Yamaha Banshee.

iv heard yamaha banshees blow up easy if you ride them hard and i will be so looking to see which can take it i do like the ktm quads but do they handle good and are they fast?

yfz450r (not yfz450) or ktm 450

those are the top 2 IMO

Awesome i can get a ktm quad for around £4000 and a yfz 450 for £2500. whats the difference between a 450r and 450 man? 2 and 4 banger?

 

[NOVIS]

the yfz450r is a total race machine from the factory first built in 2010 i think. and the yfz450 is a more mellow version first built in 2004

i have owned everything you have listed apart from a ktm quad. through reading on the net ktm quads are good but very unreliable. i had a 250f ktm which was just rebuilt and looked after like a new born child . it was still breaking on me . imo the best quads out there are the ltr for handling/ performance . but for overall a ltz400 as they'r unbreakable and have decent power for a 400. the ltr would spank a yfzr ...just my 2c

yeah man iv got a mate thats just had a ltr 400 built from scratch and hes going out on it this weekend so il know if there quick as he has a crf 450 and he said if he if quad is faster he wil be selling his bike. but i dunno yet might stick to yamaha but il see when time comes

you only make $250 a month and you think your gonna be buying a ktm. someones gotta slap you into the real world bud! that wouldnt even pay for my gas money lol.

 

[Motocrossguy17]

at 1.50 us for every 1£ your looking at like 5k us dollars 250£ times 12 is 3000£ so essentially if you spend none of thatoney you can do it I would save and then post about what I should get you got it backwards bro

yeah man lol just having a look at what i could get as iv got a few options of a banshee,trx 450, yfz 450 , raptor or a ktm . im not too sure though as iv got a few mates with ktm quads and they hardly have any bother with them apart from pistons etc normal maintenance . but if i have enough by either next christmas or by my 19th i will defo go for a ktm quad. in other words if i make £2000 within next 10 months i may just buy a raptor or a yfz or a banshee within 6 months. im just wanting to have a spare quad along with my blaster so i have something i can use while the other is getting fixed or rebuilt etc

I just looked at the KTM site for the UK, you all got stuff I've never seen before. I your listed choices, I want the 525. I've never rode one but if the difference between a KTM525 and an Asian 450 quad is like the difference between at KTM 525 and an Asian 450 bike the KTM is a beast. If KTM would build a quad around a 300EXC based engine I'd break my rule of never borrowing money for a toy and be signing on the dotted line. Of course I don't see it ever happening.

yeah man! iv FINALLY made my mind up lol the money is starting within the next 3 weeks at £200 gpb a month which i save up-to Christmas gives me £1200 and Christmas money which should give me around £1450-£1500. and im going to put another month of so il have around £1700 which i will be either buying a Yamaha banshee and doing both them up next year. or doing up my blaster and getting a banshee next Christmas. still to pick between the two but knowing me i will go for the banshee this year and doing them both up next as when i have more than one motorcycle i am happy as Sh*t! lol but the parts for the banshee are reasonably priced compared to my blaster as its £40 for a mitaka piston kit. so i think il go with the option of getting a banshee this year! anyone recommend a good LOUD garage alarm as i will need it with both quads. and also iv got a ground anchor in my shed just now chained with blaster i was thinking of doing same with banshee but it means cutting a hole in my floor to cement it. would it be safe enough if i put it on axle stands with wheels off until i got something more permanent?

i have a trx450r and a trx450er, the best quads i have ever owned besides not having any problems. the rear axle locked up on my 450r one time because i put the bearing carrier in wrong. thats the only problem ive had with it other then regular wear and tear.
