Drag raced a 440ex vs a 450r?
Good info. I read the one about his wife pulling a 450r, but I'm sure there was a weight difference. It seems to me like 450r/440ex are about the same acceleration wise. I raced a stock 450r on my fully modded ex last weekend and he pulled me by a three or four quad lengths on a 300rd sand strip. The guy weighed 145lbs against me at 180lbs. From experience I would think that it would be about even if he had a 35lb backpack on his back. These are the results that I was expecting, but it is still impressive to see first hand how much acceleration the 450r has all stock.

i ride with those guys sometimes and he wife isn't a small women, i'd say 150 + range, but they have her machine tuned very well, no carb a xr 400 cam and lots of practice on the hill, oh and the right gearing, i aslo have the 440 and have rode the 450not as much power difference i i thought there would be but time will change that, powroll already has a stroke kit and there working on a new cylinder to bring it up to 550 cc that should handle the 440

i am a faithful honda guy, and i would like to put my opinion in this. the 450r is a good bike but all of the magazines and articles everywhere else has over rated this machine. i am not impressed about the machine. i do like it though, dont get me wrong. i have raced against the 450r with my 416 and i kept up with it the whole race and finally passed it.

i would definately race a 440EX on my 450r, but the thing that made me get a 450r instead of modifying my 400ex is that once u get a 440ex, other than running alky and going to a 465, there's not much u can do, and the 440kit seems to be about the same as a stock 450r. the 450r has room to grow, where the 440ex doesn't. personally i'd like to ride a 440ex jus for the heck of it, but i don't know ne body that has one. if ne body is going to gorman sat. and has a 440ex, let me know and i'll race u.
