Default Suzuki 450 quadracer? need help deciding

well im n the market for a new four wheeler. I already have a 99 banshee but want something different and 4stroke with elec start. I am debating between the new 450 quadracer and the yfz 450. If anyone could give me insite on the suzuki id be really greatful. I have ridden the yfz450 plenty of times but dont particularly like it. Its fast im just not a fan of how it feels. I have read all the reviews and what not i just need some real world opinons on the suzuki.
thanks everyone
chris

I ride all hondas so if it was me ide get the new 450r. I ride a 400 but almost everyone i ride with has 450rs and loves them. The new Yfz's are nice thought ive road a couple of them before. I dont recomend getting any electric start though they turn into more trouble then there worth ive had all kinds of problems in the long run with every electric start 4 wheeler ive had...

I have a polaris predator 500. Ive ridden alot of 4wheelers and the predator felt the safest/most comfortable one out of all of them. And its fast

BTW its forsale.

I've got a lot of ties with Polaris. I think they make some of the best quads on the market. They ride a little different than most so if you're used to something else they feel...odd. Once you get used to them, they rock. They're fast, reliable, and have great suspension.

I think I am going to get one of the 450 quadracers. I really like the looks and it appears to be sut up nice. Comes with many of the parts I would want to upgrade to already on it.

yfz450 is the way to go. Electric start is not a concern anymore like they used to be. Only thing good about suzuki is the FI they put on them this year but their speed and suspension still can't hang with the yamaha.

If you're looking for one. I have 06 yfz450 with probably around 15 hours on it I'm gonna let go for really good price here soon.

I have ridden the yfz a number of times but i just cant convince myself to like it. Its hard to explain. the speed is there there i just dont like the way it feels.

Well in that case don't get it. It probably wasn't setup for your size/weight. Gotta get what feel's best for you though.

But whatever route you decide to go (besides Yamaha), have fun looking at the yfz tailight
