i beg to differ with top speeds, before i even had my porting done, stock carb, 20 inch rears, stock gearing, my cousin followed me in his brand new pontiac, he said i was doing 59 up a slight grade, i think the radar gun is off,
now look at my mods, with 14/40 gearing i'd say i'm well into the upper 60's, gonna have the boy follow me soon
and as for "awk versus the yfz450" today.........................
rode all day today, with my buddy on his ktm144, and 2 of his freinds, at they're riding area/strips, never been there before, one on a pretty new yfz450, my buddy told me this kid, 21yr old, has had quads before, and rides a ktm 500 sumthin bike, and was supposed to be a really good rider, he told me about huge jumps he's done, with heel clickers, and he's also raced gncc before
well guess where awk was all day........
right up his 450 ass !!!!!!!,
bike ran great all day, lots of long open tram roads and trails, 4th, 5th and 6th gear, and this dude could not lose me, after about 5 hours of me on his ass, headin back to the trucks, he actually pulled over and waved me on, score one for the blasters and the awsome power ken oconnor gave me!!!!!!!!
