2006 Suzuki LT-R450 QuadRacer

It's for real; Suzuki's EFI 450cc MX machine has a name and we have photos. The new LT-R450 QuadRacer sports a 450cc four-stroke engine based on the RM-Z450 motorcycle's, equipped with Suzuki electronic fuel injection. It also sports a wide stance and long-travel suspension.

Suzuki claims its new machine is race-ready out of the crate with little or no modifications necessary. Add in a lightweight and strong steel swingarm, center exhaust, titanium valves, magnesium covers, electric start and removable headlight and the LT-R450 looks well-equipped to back up that claim. There are more details and images of Suzuki's newest arrival in our December issue, on newsstands in a few short weeks.
