HELP!!
I trail ride and ride open fields, I like to pop wheelies, and race with friends sometimes. I have a modded 400ex right now and I want to get a 450 or 500. Which one should I get?

I would say one of the 450's then. The predator is fast but the 450's are hard to beat. Good suspension, lots of aftermarket support, newer techonlogy, etc. I would say you need to sit on and test drive each 450. They are all close in perfromance so what you feel most comfortable on will be the tie breaker.

/\/\/\ what gator said, because if you ask me i would say the 450R, i have rode yfz450s and a LTR and i liked the torgue of the 450R and honda is my favorite brand. You will have to do some research on them. Being your on a Yamaha forum almost everyone will say YFZ if you go to a honda forum 450R...etc.
