alright,so as of today i got a 400ex,i do trails and tracks up to 60 footers,i do it all (except dunes) my only problem is im a heavy rider around 250lb,so my 400ex is a little soft and isnt that great on jumps(its hurts)
as far as suspension which one would be the best?and which turns quickest?
yamaha 450?
honda 450?
raptor 660?
suzuki 450?
also ive heard befor the raptor isnt good on tracks cuz its too tall is this true too?
generally i only ride honda because im not in to fixing things except servicing oil,filters,fluids....
which one would i be best with?
also id be buying the earlier editions of all these like 2004 or lower for raptor
no aftermarket suspension advice please unless its under $200
i pretty much have a 3,000 limit...

the suzuki ltr-450 has the best stock suspestion. that trx450r is the worst track 450 in my opion. they are very good for baja but not the best for track use.
-------------------------
06 raptor 700....way way way to much stuff to list but makes real good hp and has long travel suspension
