The YZF450 didn't have a DS or Raptor torque pull at the very bottom. It revs high and is very lightweight. ALso I read it reaches 49 hp with some simple mods like removing the exhaust restrictor, a slip on and modifying the cam sprocket to advance it one tooth. I wonder if you can do that to a DS (shift the cam a bit to advance or retard timing).


Still for what it is, that is a fast bike. It feels more solid than a Raptor that is for sure. I'm not buying into the hype but I rode and raced one and It's impressive. It still doesn't have that low end torque that I like.
