I'd have to say it would be close between the YFZ and the new LTR450. I went and looked at the new Suzuki this weekend and it does look pretty good. That damn thing sure is wide though. I sat on it too. It didnt feel as comfortable as the shee IMHO. To top it off I had this salesman tellin me, "man, we can't keep these things in stock. Everytime we get 'em in, people buy 'em straight off the trailer."
They had two sitting in their showroom. A yellow and a white one. I like the centered exhaust, but I think the bike looks fugly when you look at it head on.
Ride blue, YFZ all the way.
