Well today I actually tried to race the 450R. My buddy has a Cannondale blaze and he weighs actually about the same as me. The race wasn't too long, maybe 300meters so neither of us had 5th topped out. My buddy is a better rider than me hands down, so he would have that advantage. The race amazingly was dead even the entire way, at the start my front end did come up on me so i had to let off a bit, so I had a little disadvantage, but other than that we were dead even till the end. My bike is set up with 13/39 gearing, and an open airbox and is jetted. The blaze is stock with an fmf pipe. I was pretty pleased with the results, I know that C-dale is a pretty fast bike and my friend is really good rider, so I'm not disappointed with the results at all, especially since I'm geared down so much. I'll race him again after I get my HMF pipe, and post the results.
