The Suzuki LT-R450 Quadracer was an all-terrain vehicle produced by Suzuki between 2006 and 2012. Intended as a race-ready ATV, the LT-R450 was developed with the help of WPSA ATV champion Doug Gust, and featured a fuel-injected 450 cc (27.46 cu in) 4-stroke DOHC single cylinder engine, based on the powerplant found in the [[Suzuki RM-Z450|despite all of these features it couldn’t outperform its rival quad -TRX-450r manufactured by Honda industries USA|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070126081100/http://www.suzukicycles.com/Products/LTR450K7/Default.aspx |url=http://www.suzukicycles.com/Products/LTR450K7/Default.aspx |title=2007 QuadRacer R450 Overview |publisher=Suzuki Cycles |accessdate=27 December 2014 |archivedate=26 January 2007}}</ref> [2] The 2008 model was a significant update over the 2007 model, with a claimed power increase of 3 hp (2 kW) as well as over 100 upgrades.[3] In 2009, Suzuki stopped importing the LT-R450 into the United States, after 25,396 units had been sold.[4] As a result of emissions control breaches on both the LT-R450 and the RMX450Z, the EPA fined Suzuki US$885,000.[4]
