sandlake, windchester bay and I live on 5 acres out here so I get plenty of seat time.. I allmost went with the honda because the suspension was supposed to be softer, but on the 06 Yfz's they added an extra inch of padding on the seat, gave it a longer softer travel rear suspension than the 04s and 05's... a couple of my friends have 05's and theres a world of difference between them and my 06. 06's also get a longer stroke engine that actually displaces 449cc's... so in otherwords its actually close to the 450 thisyear lolduner said:Very nice. I've been looking at the 450 and the new Raptor. I'm partial to the Honda 450R. Haven't decided which way to go yet. If I could find another LT500 I may pick that up. But, I want to be able to ride the dunes and the trails.
Where do you normally ride. Browns Camp or Sandlake, Winchester or Coos Bay?

how tall are you? I'm a bigger guy 6'3" 205lbs... the yfz fits me pretty well... the honda just felt a little different, maybe a little cramped?

nice, what all did you polish? I think I'm gonna go with a blue or green highlight theme on my bike, get some anodized stuff just to kinda breakup all the silver and white. I love mine, I'm still breaking it in... going to sand lake thisweekend. I went with the itp sandstars and c series wheels, the wheels look cool and are strong as hell and I like that the paddles are 1 piece instead of bonded... seen too many haulers fall appart on peopleoosmytoo said:right on man you'll love it! just bought one two months ago. i got the yellow/black special edition. deleted the foot guards, sand tires all around, some cascade accessories, and polished a bunch of stuff. i love it!
