2011 SUZUKI QUADRACER R450

2011 SUZUKI QUADRACER R450 (2009 model, $8099)

Even though Suzuki doesn’t technically call this a 2011 model, the injected 450R is still one of the most sophisticated quads in the sport world. The R450 has won three National MX titles in a row and is still counting. It’s also won 2 GNCC titles despite that it comes in full motocross width. It needs only slight unplugging to become race-ready.
