There was a good review of it in last months dirt wheels. The compared it against the current model with the 500cc motor.
I sat on one the other day at the dealership. Looked and felt really weird with the IRS, but who knows, it might ride really well.

Our deaslership has one arriving in the next month or so. By what i understand, the engine is to die for, they say it is the hardest accelerating atv out right now (for a stock setup)...a very strong engine indeed. As far as handling goes, the irs rear really makes this bike stick to the ground...great ground clearance and in the rough, the ride is soooo smooth. The pro steering up front works really well...no scrub. I can't wait to demo this baby out!

Well, like I said, I didn't get to ride it, but I did get a couple of laps on a new Suzuki LTR 450 last weekend. It put my YFZ 450 to shame.
All the newer generation 450+ sport quads are a lot of fun to ride.

Yeah, its fast!
Its a good quad according to most of the articles in the Mags. The I.R.S ( funny abbreviation, most people hate that) is actually very good on the track as I hear. It gets major getting used to but in the end most like how it coners and how it lands on not so level landings.
The engine is great, I have rode a ktm 525 before and I loved the engine, but had no need for the power for the trail riding I do, so I immagine the motor is great on that bike.
