Default Kawasaki 700 vs. 450r

Some guy that I work with just bought a Kawasaki 700 and he has been bragging behind my back that it will beat my 450r. So I would like to know what the results would be. I also have a 650 Rincon with big tires. I don't think that will win against the Kawasaki but he went to far when he said the 450r.

You have a 250 lb. weight advantage! To make it fair, you will have to carry a passenger.

My crappy 400EX has beat a stock V-Force 700 by about 5 or 6 quad lengths in 300 FT drag on dirt. So I think that the 450R will have no trouble at all unless its muddy. I haven't had a chance to see what either of the new 450's will do, but I am sure they are faster than my quad. You should have this one easily.

TRXRACERs..

I'm not sure if your talking about a KFX 700 or Prairie 700 but I own a KFX and have raced a 450r. If both bikes are somewhat stock, you'll have no trouble spanking a KFX in any type of race. I have done alot of clutch work and have piped mine and raced against a 450r that was piped. It was close, but the 450r was able to stay about 1/2 legnth ahead of mine the whole way down the 500 foot strip. I was very surprised to see how fast the Honda was. As long as he doesn't have alot of mods, you won't have anything to worry about.

A 700 prairie with dyna cdi will beat a pipped 400ex by 5 lengths in 500 feet.
A stock p-700 is about 7 mph slower in 1/8 mile 330 '. A 450 stock will at least be equal to a p-700 stock in drag.

The Rincon will not be in the race.

Minimus have you changed out your primary spring yet? I put in the EPI spring, it is awesome. Now I want something even more aggresive like the Dalton O/B. I think you would love it, it is a cheap mod. Cannot wait to install my CDI today and rip around with it.
