2010-13 450 for trail riding

[rdefonce]

Easiest way to sum up for me is the '09 handles better than the '11 but the '11 suspension is more compilant especially over jumps. Keep in mind it might be the suspension set up as much as the quality of the suspesnion. On both bikes the suspension is fairly fresh so that takes one thing out of the equasion. The '11 geomotry seems a little off for sure. I'm going to try the engine relocate kit to see if I can get the front to follow better. Keep in mind that it's probably as much me being a crap rider as it is the bikes fault.

+1, accept I'm comparing my '08 to my '10.

That said, I still like the way the 10 handles; still just fine for me. The '08 front end felt just a bit more planted.

Overall I like the 10 better.
