Alright I need everyone's opionion because I can't decide. I have a 400EX and a 250R and I am thinking of selling them to get this new 450r but I'm not sure if I should do it or not. What do you guys think? I do race flat track and drag race quite often.

It's a 87 and it's pretty clean. It is mostly all stock with a few aftermarket parts. I was going to fix it up to drag race but when the 450r came out I haven't did anything yet. I'm tryin to decide what to do.

Almost everyone I know that circle tracks or flat drags has built up bikes for instance my friends 250r wins every class he enters almost because he has the 330 kit and tells everyone its a 265. At least with the 450r you will be on a more level playing field at least for a little while.

he can get in serious chit for that! He could get banned from racing... i was gonna try that w/ my 330 and say it was only a true 300...but i decided not to

I agree that he should but everyone around here does it if 35 people sign up for the 400 class probably 14 or 15 are modified that's why I don't bother racing flat drags. Even though the same people win all the time the others don't ever say anything because theirs is modded too!

Lots of times the ones who win the most are the ones who have the most money. Unfortunitly there probly has been cheating as long as there was racing. I'm not saying everyone cheats but there is usually someone "bending" the rules to gain an advantage.

I would have to agree. having one of the best 2-strokes and one of the best 4 strokes. would be sweet,

I'm a honda and a yamaha fan so don't kill me on which is best.
