Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

** caps are on buddy. I dont care tho ** from cali so i already like ya.
Lets sit back for a second and look at suzuki's last quads, the lt's. There JUNK all of them are falling appart. Suzuki dosent know how to keep there S-together. The Suzuki might be faster or better handling out of the box but give it a year or 2 and youl be making regular stops at the service department at the dealership. Go with the 06 honda with the HRC kit.

I was at my Suzuki dealer yesterday. I was told the first one was due in mid January, it would be a demo unit and wouldn't be sold for a while. He said they had 8 scheduled to come in Febuary that would be sold. I'm sure the story is about the same for most dealers.
I had the RIGHT to remain silent, I didn't have the ability!

Huh?
I don't know what Suzuki's you all have been riding (or maybe not riding, just commenting on), but I think they DO have their "S" together. The Vinson and the King quad have excellent performance reviews and customer satisfaction. It's not like I am some huge Zuke fan or something...hell, look at the sig. I am actually a Honda fan.
Anyway, Just think you all are a little harsh in your judgement. Prolly be pissed when the new QRacer roosts you on your (whatever other brand) quad. I know I would.
Give it a chance, boys.

The Suzuki 450 is the sweetest and most advanced ride this year...I agree the first year bugs give me the jitters...From the new magazine I got Honda tinkered with there motor and the rest of the machine quite a bitOriginally Posted by 200xcellent
Some quotes from the 2006 Honda article
"after getting spanked the past two years in the shootouts Honda has given the 450r a very major makeover...While you may focus on the electric start thats a very small part what makes it different from last year".
"Whats new
Except for the basic frame just about everything. From the motor to the A arms to the swingarm the 2006 450r is a new machine""
"Its a new motor, although it may look like the 2005 motor there are no interchangeable parts"
To much to type..... this article in ATV action lists change after change to the Honda....and I thought they just added an electric start!!!!
Anyway the Suzuki LT450 to me mixes modern and its roots (man if only they did the blue motor...Everybody is entitled to there opinion and I respect Hondas quality as I was all set to buy the Honda but I think i need this machine. its baaad.
