450R HILL CLIMBING
The hills behind my house are on an earthquake fault line. Near vertical stuff, and desert hard pack as well. The 450 is by far the best hill climber I ever rode! The front end light thing is mostly urban myth! It's no different than riding the 400EX. Wheelies when you want, but not wheelie happy.
I put in an afternoon trail riding my friends YFZ, and was happy to get off that thing and back onto my Z400! Get the picture?

450R HILL CLIMBING
This is what I do most and I find my new TRX to be awesome at the task. Out here the hills are loose at the bottom,then get rocky toward the top. The quad just rips up anything I point it at. I just get forward and let the tires spin and I'm gone. I'm very happy with this machine as a hill climber....

Cough Cough.......Predapuss?
Joel Joel Joel.......those weren't your words after you rode my Pred for a bit....If I remember right, you even had quite a smile on your face and thought it rev'd out quite well and liked the top end, although you thought your 440ex had more torque.........and you were looking at buying a predator (or so you said) before you bought that 450R kick starty thing. <grins
When are we going riding again? lemme know. I'll bring my puss, you bring your kick starting boots.
