Looks a bit like a green Honda on Yamaha suspention. And it donen't look anywhere near as fast as a LT-R450

What looks slow about it?

I think it looks pretty cool.
My favourite would be the black plastics and wheels model.

if your going to have a kawa, might as well be green, makes it stand out and not looking like a yammy, just my opinion, and I'd love one. Any idea of price ??

Suzuki released their photos of the LT-R about this time last year but we didn't get it till late March. My tip is mid to late next year. But if they want to race it in the States next year the rules say it must be in the shops by the start of the season

I like the look of it but not wide enough for MX.

What I really like is the choice we have now, us quad guys have never had it so good. With the new Can-Am, KTM (not Predator) and a totally new Gas Gas on the way the problem will be what to choose.

the interesting thing will be to see which ones out of these new models will take off here in OZ.

I think if you lined up all the '07 models (inc the ones not released yet) the choice most people will make will be purely financial. Look at the last round of MX; Suzuki's everywhere. Not because everyone likes Suzuki but because they come with all the good stuff out of the box; they are effectively $5k cheaper than everything else.

I predict that we will be seeing more and more LTR's untill another one of the manufactrers brings out a MX quad to compete at a comptitive price.
