yeah its the king. we made a deal, wasn't a "smoking deal" but it was a deal and i'm happy with it. its way more bike than the eiger 400 was.

the little tractor was great but it wouldn't more as much as i expected it could. perhaps age and lots of use has made it a tad tired. worked out ok though, my neighbor fired up his versatile and cleared out our driveways pretty good!!

its the 450. they make the 400(formerly the eiger), 450, and 750. funny part is, the 750 is 5lbs lighter than the 450. they are built on the same frame but the 750 uses a lot of aluminum components to lighten the load.

A friend told me that the biggest Suzukis are made by Kawasaki. I never did confirm this.

a few years back that was the case, but to my knowledge that fell apart about 2 years ago. the brute force doesn't have that good of a name, while the KQ tops its class.

price and necessity. it was another 1000-1500 or so for the 750 and i really don't need that much more power. maybe in a couple of years when i hand this one off to the missus and baby... the 450 has loads more power than the 400 which i was happy with in the first place

That makes sence. Surprising how much a 50 cc difference can sometime make.

I noticed a difference from my 300 Honda to the 350.
The 350 was another one I didn`t wanted to keep either, a noise from the front end like an expensive axle U-joint.
