...riding? I really want an LTR 450 and i know they are low to the ground and i was wondering if i put a skid plate on it will it handle pretty tough trails? I would get a YFZ 450 because i know they are better for trails but i dont like them as much.

the ltr's are more of a race 4-wheeler... if you were going to spend 7 grand on one of those i would just get a z-400 or something with more ground clearance...it would be worth it unless you plan on racing

In the short answet, yes, it will handle the trails, but the wider suspension may hurt you in the tighter trails where the more narrow suspension on the YFZ 450 will fit better. It all depends on what you are looking for. The LTR will be the better MX'er, but will also handle the trails.

why dont you take a look at the raptor??? it will have the power there,with more ground clerance...i've been riding for some 15 years now(back to the days with the three wheelers) and the market today is just huge..you really should open up your eyes a little more to some other machines as well..ever think about the new wolvorine?? 4x4 on a sportquad is pretty good if you ask me!
