Sure, it would be a great for just having a good time, just be sure to watch out for the aftermarket parts bug!!!! When they bite, they bite hard!!!!
yeah i heard about that one!! :lol:
all the people i talk to here in Florida that work for the companies that sell 450s say they're a pure racing bike and they break down very very easily since they're not sport, they're racing..

It is a great all around Quad for fun or racing. I use it for both and I am not a top notch racer. Just a weekend rider having fun racing once in a while.
yeah, i think ive seen your quads pic on atvflorida .. you go there?
the only thing holding me back from getting the 450r is the kick start. i havnt tryed it out yet, but next weekend or the weekend after that im going back to check it out at Palm Beach Cycles here in FL. Didnt you say you got yours there or something?
edit nvm...

I bought it at ARS Powersports in Okeechobee. I wouldn't buy anything at Palm Beach Cycles. They are a bunch of idiots with an attitude.
my reply: Palm beach cycles does suck... The building even looks like crap. I looked there for an atv, they had a horrible selection. Ended up going to some place in stuart, which was really nice.
Yeah, they're usually pretty pissy at me..

RL400, I mostly ride trails and sometimes play around with my buddies on the mx track. I love the power and the handling, its way better than my ole 400ex. Starts on the 1st kick about 90% of the time the other 10% the 2nd kick sometimes the 3rd. Good luck with you purchase!

RL400 I do go to ATVFlorida.com all the time. Call Eric at ARS in Okechobee. It is worth the ride.
Schmitthead, I live in the Acreage which is west of Palm Beach Gardens, RL400 lives in Palm Beach Gardens I think.

About the whole 450R being strictly a racer..I doubt mine will EVER see a race. This quad is great for anyone looking to get a sport quad in a totally different league than the 400's. By the way, I have not heard of anyone having major problems, so I think your dealer was wrong about that too...at least I hope so!

I rode a 450R today, and got a picture of me on it. A really nice guy let me ride his around the place today, he owned 2 i think, really nice guy. ill get the pics on here ASAP - i love it! and my mom really liked it too.. i kicked it the first time. the pictures are on my friend's digital camcorder, and we need to buy a Camera to PC cable before i can get the video and pictures on here. expect something with in a few days.h34r:

h34r:yeah but i didnt want to on the other guys bike! i didnt even know him before i talked to him that day. i did see him 2 weeks ago though, hes there every other weekend. when i came back hes like ... you could have gone alittle faster.. it was funny. ill get pics asap.
At least you got the bug now for the 450R. You can't go wrong with that bike. I ride in the woods mostly and the only real thing I had to do to ride there was take the front sprocket down to a 13t. I think the 450R is the most comfortable quad I have ever ridden. You will get used to the kick, it's really not that big of a deal. Hell, the 250R has a kick and you never heard anyone complain about that. TRX450R best bang for the buck, hands down!!!!
