KX450F vs. KX500

[kayx250]

I didnt mean to blow up that much but its just tiresome coming on here and if someone post something and they dont like it, its complete blasphemy..... or it could never happend.....it just gets frustrating.

And about the potential I believe you...I think I read that stewart had something like 100rwhp and thats badass.....honestly I dont think I could harness all that even in a strait line let alone on a course

Like I said im not claiming to beat 150hp banshees.....In fact the very last thing I raced at the beach was a yfz450 with an extended swingarm, cams, ported, other bolt ons  and nitrous and I raced him at first with no nitrous and it was almost a complete tie I couldnt pass him and he couldnt pass me so he stopped and told me he was going to use his nitrous and he dusted the living hell out of me with it and I was still happy cause I got to race..... the only thing was my mouth was packed of of sand but I was still smiling cuase it was fun.

all I said is what happend in my experience when someone asked

Thats refreshing someone who can loose it and then bring it back. I know some times I want to reach through the computer and grab someone by the throught and jab my thumb in their eye. I have a hard time letting go of that feeling. I think part of the problem is you expected to be attacked from the get go your very first line in your post said that. But anyway how much do you weigh and I'm glad your not angry anymore it's not healthy.

145 pounds on a 450 you should be kicking everyones ass in a drag race. If I had to race you I would be giving up 13 horse right off the top just do to the weight difference. I would say that the average 500 rider is a 200 pounder if not more. I bet the kx500 you were racing ran just fine. Shoot you want to come to the dunes and ride my bike I bet we could make some money. It would go like this "hay!! I bet you $500.00 my dirt bike will blow the doors off your 1000 horse Ls powered sand rail."  The problem is no one would take us up on it.

if had had the cash for a 1000hp rail throwing $500 down on a race would be nothing. seeing as im poor ill race you for a beer but i get to use a throttle jockey too.

[BDI]

You still owe me a beer from the last time we raced

[bigbellybob]

Having  owned a K5 98 for several years, a kx450 07 from new, I thought I put my two cents in, mind you I slipped a 500 motor in a kx 250 01 Frame.

In a drag race on slippery conditions are about even, but  surface's with more traction  the 500 pulls away from 3rd on wards, even in soft sand.and I've tried this  with a YZ 450 06 and had the same results.( Riders evenly matched)

I find Kx 450's heavy to ride compared to the 250/500 hybrid bike.

I totaly agree KXDINO! I found the same to be true with between my kx450 and my 500af (07 chassis).
The AF is 6 LBS lighter and the CG feels lower.
