Hey There,

New to this site, I'm picking up a new yellow LTR this weekend. In the process of selling my 89' LT500R ( bought new in 89')

Hoping that this bike will be much better (17+yrs technology) I really like my quadzilla, but getting back into riding. My 500 with a pual turner pipe , and minor mods ran very strong before, the last time I had it out (55~60HP two-stroke), will I be disappointed with the power of the LTR? I getting older and something fast but mellower is ok ( I was hoping they would make an LTR700 to kill the Raptor and everything else in existence)

Anyhow Pual Turner/ Duncan Racing is local to me and has always had a good reputation - how come nobody mentions there pipe for the LTR? Do they suck? The Fat boy looks killer for this bike. Or should I be looking at the dasa/HR1 or wait another three or so months for more options to come available.

I'm a big guy and will need as much HP as I can get while not voiding the waranty ( no cams or head work) I'm very familiar with F.I. as well, and fully understand tuning.

Thanks-

Big welcome to LTRhq :D

There's really NO way to compare these machines to a quadzilla in any way shape or form. We have a full Trinity Racing quadzilla, and it could be the most akward feeling machine I've ever felt. With that, it honestly scares the living hell out of me. The power is absolutely rediculous.

These 450 machines are deceiptful. The power is strong but they're so light, nimble, and rideable it's easy to ride fast without even realizing it.

Let us know what you think when you pick it up :)

Nothing against Duncan gear. Just alot more info out on the DASA. Most guys on this site are running DASA. Lots of tech talk about DASA = lots of sales. Not to mention the great reviews. Fat Boys just are stacking up in the pipe shoots.

Kidsdad0101 are saying by stack up that they aren't really compareable to the others , or no info?

Thanks

PS - you sound local too (SD)

Welcome to the site! The tansition from 2 stroke to 4 stroke is probly going to be a lot different, power wise. I am coming from a highly modded 380cc banshee... the power band is way different...but i like it alot.. the 450s are awesome! I suggest you do the cherry bomb mod first, removed your stock baffle and airbox lid also.
