Hi Guys,

Well, its time for the KTM 450XC to go and I am getting a "Ag" quad to use on the farm, but also, head up to the high country (where my inlaws own around 1500 acres of awesome bush) and do some fun riding. Does any one own a 800 MAX XT? Is it a good quad? how does it handle towing? How does the 2nd seat stack up for passengers ? But more importantly, how do they handle the bush tracks? Where I go riding, there are plenty of steep inclines and declines, river crossings and rutted, rocky sections that the KTM just cant handle!!
When will the 2012 models be coming out so hopefully I can pick up a 2011 a bit cheaper!!!

Cheers

Dave

these are a great machine, and fly while they are at it, the rear seat is very compfy and one year I subjected a freind of mine to lugging me around all easter and I felt very safe, and even on the real off camber stuff I was trying to see if it would tip with a bit of help but didnt budge, the extra length will affect the turning cirlcle but is is ag bike not a sports bike so you'll get used to it, mate buy one you'll love the power and handling and its not going leave you stuffed after a day in the saddle.

So picking up a brand new 2011 model for $15,000 a good deal?
