In drag, the edge has to go to the YFZ (maybe a bike length), same with MX, trails, I would say 450R. They are so close, one would not be dissapionted in either in any terrain. The 450R has kick only, but I like that, its VERY easy to kick. The YFZ is stiffer, suspension wise, it wants to be ridden harder, like the old CDale moto. The R is a little more plush.
Ford Chevy,
What brand does he like? tell him to get it.

Do a search for crying out loud, there are so many of these threads floating around its easy to stumble over one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] But i will tell you the TRX is a VERY good hillclimber.

I finally raced a TRX today and OBLITERATED it. In third gear I had him by 8-10 lengths. In 5th it was over 20. That's a fact. He could ride just fine and I even gave him the go. Weight was about 45-50 lbs lighter than me at least. The starts were even but in third I'd look back and he was Way back there.
He was stock, I have the K&N, cam mod and HMF. He reminded me identically of the 400ex with a pipe and K&N I raced three weeks ago. His wife also had one and he's a nice guy. We're riding again tomorrow.

Ok, 19 lengths. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Too far to count. I am modded though.
