My friend owns two 450's and ive road them. Very nice and more power than the 400ex. How much do you think i could get out of my 400ex? How would a 400ex with a jet, pipe, and k&n airfilter do against a stock 450?


That will let you run with a stock '05 Z..........

The handling on the 450 is alot better than the 400. The first day I rode my 450 I was doing a double, that I wouldn't try on my 440ex. I had ridden the 440 for 3 years and in 20 minutes I had more confidence in the 450.

I race flat track. I ran my 440 for a season and could not get hoked up as I did on the 450 in 3 races. People complain about the 450r heigth but, I don't notice it. I used the same lowering kits and tires. I did have a different sway bar, but I'm not sure that was the difference.

As far as dumping a 400 to get a 450 I don't know if I would. I am lucky enough to have both. If you said I had to lose one, I would not be able to pick. I would prolly quit riding. I did sell a Banshee for the 450r and that was a good choice.
