Looking into buying a leftover 19 suzuki 450 for a really good price such as 5700 and i was wondering if it was worth it or if i should spend another 1200 on a yamaha or honda. Was wondering if they are really as bad as the reveiws on youtube say they are? And was gonna used the money i saved to get aftermarket pipe and suspension done anyways.
Suspension work alone will cost you close to $1000 once springs are factored in....I said close to 1k not exactly but close.

Husky you spend more up front but holds its value so well you end up losing less overall.
Id say kawi as an alternative because i think its a better overall package than the suzuki but still offered at prices close to the Suzuki much cheaper than the others.
The rmz engine is good, probably doesnt need anything other than a slip on silencer

Look for a good deal on a leftover honda or kawi. I saw 18 crf450s for 5999 just a couple months ago and left over kawis for like 6800.
How great was the 04-07 crf250? It ate valves pretty well. But wait i thought honda built the best most dependable bikes ever.
How great was the late model cr125s being down massively on power to all the other 125s?
Insane to write the things you're writing.
OP, I debated the same thing. I liked my 2010 RMZ and the 18/19 RMZs are pretty cheap. But the light weight, superior component set, and quality build sold me on the FC350. At $6988 OTD I bought one.
