Tired of 450's

**nemesis** · 10-11-2004, 02:39 PM

Is anyone else tired of seeing all the 400ex and z owners getting rid of there quads to get a YFZ or a 450R? All I see at the mx track anymore is the 450's. I beat quite a few of them and my bike is close to stock.
How many others still ride mx with their Z's?

I'm still riding my Z, and keeping up with any Yami or Hondas. The only reason y people get yami, is because of the name.same as Hondas..that's my 2cent..

im not really sick of them but i do think they are over rated in some aspects. i can keep up with people riding the 450s on my 400 and am on a quad worth half the money. i think the 450's are really nice and all but people selling z's and 400ex's with 10grand into them for 450s boggles my mind sometimes

my friend jsut got a 450R and we ride woods alot and we are both pretty decent riders i think and i can keep up with him just fine on my 250ex in woods, but on the flats thats a way different story

It is just that people don't usually max out the potential in their bikes. If you can't ride a 400 then you probably won't be able to ride a 450. For the arverage joe that likes to MX the bike is only about 20% of the what you bring to the track and the other 80% is riding abilities.

I ride mx on mine and Im pretty much stock too and i keep up with the 450 pretty good in my opinion.

I didn't by a 450r for the power because my 416 still hangs with the 450's I bought it because I like the feel of it. to me it feels lighter and more should I say nimble.

i bought the yfz and 450r just so i could piss people off that cant buy one

i agree, it doesnt make sense for alot of these folks to lose so much money just to get a newer quad, but for some its worth it

I lost my ars on selling my Z400, but I couldn't be happier with the new R
