    One of the least desirable 450s that came out back then. Weren't the fastest (although owners claimed they were). Only pros were they were FI and had reverse.

    Make sure you get battery with hig CCA. They are really hard on batteries. I have an 08 kfx 450r. Plus reverse is sweet and they have a choke

    The Monster Energy editions usually command about 10% more in value. In some cases up to15%. I believe they were only made in 2008.Hopefully that's not just a graphics kit, because there was little hidden gems on all Monster Energy models hence why they were worth more. I remember I almost bought a new 08 Monster Energy kx100. Nice find Joe.

    Every tire will have a manufacture gate code so it will be the week and the year for instance 0494 would be the fourth week of 1994. The date code will ONLY BE ON ONe SIDEWALL (not both)

    I owned the kfx450r. Great machine. Great price that you grabbed it for. The fenders are modular so you can remove them for tight trail riding. I would't recommend the big bore kit as its already fast enough.

    Do they really go for $4k+ where you're at for that year? Ive owned a few of these over the years mostly 2010 to 2015 and dont think i ever paid more than 2k for one. The Kawi's were never the hot quads for some reason but they were great. Nice score if they're really that much up there!

    Nice to see you getting a good deal from the off, just one question though, how can you say the brakes are working perfect without even moving the quad, you can have a good lever, pedal and the brakes not working, be careful.
