Default FINALLY!! Got 2 ride a 450r!

I got to admit, for a while I wasn't sure if the honda was going to live up to the hype. But D*MN, this thing is awesome. A guy I went to school with got his 1st quad, a 450R can u believe it, he knows I love to ride so he stopped by and told me to tell him what I thought. This thing is not underpowered by no means, handles way better than my 400, and flyies like a dirtbike.

We raced it against my buddy's raptor(stock), and it beat it without to much trouble. He doesn't have the hrc kit yet but I can not wait to ride it when he does to see the difference. I definately have to get rid of my RM now, so I can afford one of these awesome machines.

How did it fair against your 440ex in speed? Also, was the raptor piped.

Appreciate the info, only a few days left until I get mine.

I didn't have my quad with me since it is almost idenical speed in a drag to that raptor that my friend Aaron brought. His raptor is all stock except for a k&n filter and a 1 tooth lower sprocket. Before he made the sprocket change my 440 had more on the low end.

And it was like a dream, can't wait till it is a reality and I have my own.

Picked mine up today. Only had time to ride it around in the parking lot, so can't make any comparisons. Might put in a little time on it Sunday.
