I’ve noticed quite a few forum posts on various sites recently titled Suzuki ATV for sale, what’s interesting is that they have not only been modified but the Suzuki R450’s have actually been raced. When I asked the owner why they were selling an R450 QuadRacer the response was “because I’m buying the newest one” or “because I bought a new one”. There is no bigger compliment than a customer deciding to upgrade to the latest model when the old ride isn’t worn out yet. Find sellers in places you visit and ask why!
