I'm still torn as to what to buy. The King quad 450 axi sure is an Inticing machine With a seat height of 33.4 " low center of gravity and fun factor and price point it just seems like a big bang for the buck. So I been doing more research and reading. Heres one I missed..Pretty cool read!!

I need and want the 750 axi..But the 450 still seems like a great Deal for the price difference. Zuki I can ride my 300 honda 7 hours hard I give it heck and only use 2 inches of gas its amazing. Hence the 750 axi is geared High to conserve fuel and tame the beast a bit..So the alum vs steel is how Suzuki is shaving the weight and making the 750 axi lighter than the 450 axi. I read somewhere that suzuki beefed up the frame for the newer 750 vs 700 . The article is old but I found it Intresting!!
Tubby the wait for a new quad is killing me..he he

Thats a good read liquid,awsome 450.makes you want one dont it.
yep. I really like the engine braking part. I need to find a 450 axi to test ride out on the trail. Seems like a big frame for a 450 But seems like the 450axi is built with this in mind..:rating07:

That and it is cool that the 700 uses the same frame as this but they use aluminum on the spindles and wheels to stay within the 600lb weight limits, I wonder since the only thing that changes it from 700 to 750, should be bore and stroke, if they are using the same frame for it as well? That would be nice to have same weight and size frame but just more power. Nice read and find Liquid.

Thanks ,Yea i been doing more research:icon_twisted:
Driving my brain nuts. I seen over on nyroc that a guy posted if the 450 diff are the same as the 750 diff looks like there the same almost Identical except for engine , spindles,wheels. Seems like the 750 axi drive train would be beefed up.. But what gives the seat height is 33.4" and ground clearance 10.2" on 450 axi.. the 750 axi is seat height 34.6" and ground clearance 10.6"
curb weight 450 axi 672lbs vs 750 axi 666lbs this is 2009 specs..humm not sure why zuki used steel parts vs aluminum why not lighten the 450 axi for the smaller engine..?? Watching the vids of the 450 axi its strong and rips pretty good but slower on top end..
