    YFZ 450r....Should I buy it?

    Not a huge quad fan, but I have a good opportunity to pick up a New 2014 YFZ450R (ORANGE) for $8000 out the door! Just wondering if any of you guys thought this was a good deal or not. Don't know much about them but thought I'd might pick it up so my trike has a friend Any thoughts? Good idea or not?

    Thank you..

    When I got my yfz in 03 I paid more than that. The yfzr has many improvements over mine when I bought it. Thats not a bad deal on a great quad that is outta the box race ready.

    i thought the suzuki was race ready....52 inch front end off the production line and get the cherry bomb programmer (i hate electronics) and your ready to throw roost to the chickens that havent woke up yet...lol...but i think hes right. it sounds like a good deal. i can take criticism if im wrong. i like to be correct.

    thx...mark

    you express dought and in this case why would you spend 8 grand on something your really not into that much? Seems like a stupid idea to me.

    If you're R is lonely, spend $2K on a nice 350X and put $6K in your pocket.

    Or spend the $8K building a TPC if you're so inclined.

    On the other hand, if that YFZR is anything like the one I chased around the Kermit dunes last August, it's a NICE machine. Wide track. Upgraded shocks. F-A-S-T.
