So I'm thinking ahead. When I decide to trade in my current ride or just get another, what should I get? I now ride a TRX450, I really want a KTM525 but the 08's are on back order so I don't see an 08 being available next year. The 09 is the same price as the Rhino, that's just stupid. Lets here what all of you think I should get.

I ride mostly rocky wooded trails. I visit the dunes about only once a year. I don't touch track, what you think? Buying used is out of the question.

You have way to much cash man. I wish that I could afford a new quad. I have a hard time keeping my 20 year old one going. I would love to have an LT450R, an Outlaw 525, a KTM525, or a Raptor 700.

It's all about payments and credit. I was kind of thinking the Polaris 525. It still has the KTM motor and it does come with Fox shocks if I'm thinking of the right ride.

yea i love yamaha but........i would NOT go for the rapt. 700r i have been told there to heavy and there power sucks but thats just what a couple ppl have told me , just a heads up something to look into.

I'm a Honda diehard. Raptor would be my last choice. You know how Honda guys feel about Yammies. The same way they feel about Hondas. I would go any other brand before Yamaha. Nothing against them performance wise, just don't want Blue.

Thanks bro!

The KTM is really sweet. I agree with you about the raptor...that would be my last choice also. Yamaha has more then just blue. Grey and white.

I've only heard one negative thing about the KTM. The gas tank has this ridge that is meant just for looks. If the rider is over 6 feet tall their knees WILL be beat to crap. That is one thing that scares me. There are times when I'm riding hard and the next day I will have bruises on the inside of my knees. My tank is perfectly smooth. When I'm riding hard I'm leaning over the bars while standing up. So those knees are holding on to that tank for dear life.
