Title: What to buy? I can't decide Post by: dirtyface on January 25, 2006, 09:17:48 PM My 250r blew the rear axel bearing last sunday. It is getting old now and I am thinking of buying a second bike. Problem is should I buy a 450r sport bike or a utility. If a utility is the way I go, I am thinking either a suzuki king quad, honda forman rubicon, or brute force. What do you guys think? I don't know if the utilities are as fun on the trails as a sport bike, but I see all those guys going through thick mud and it looks like a blast. :o

Still straight axle rear so you slide the back end around, but has a nice smooth ride. 500cc is plenty of power and they do great in the mud. Also has an awesome seat, really big and soft.

A fun event where I smoaked my belt by hitting a water hole a little too fast :o Title: Re: What to buy?

Have you had any other problems with it?

Have you had any other problems with it? Actually NO I have had no issues with mine, I have made it very fast though ;) The belt slipping was my fault....3ft deep water 20 mph = wet belt!!!! Good luck with whatever you get but the KQ is awesome. Title: Re: What to buy?
