yeah i got one. theres more pics on my profile or in the thread called R450 pics, or somethin like that. well heres the thing , i got it, but i havent really rode it. i rode it down me street a few times but only got in 2nd, half throttle, and it still felt like it hauled ***. its reall confortable to sit on. at first its kinda wierd cuz its really low, and the handle bars come straight up because the body is so low, so it makes you sit up kinda stiff at first, but i got used to it. the clutch is nice and smooth. it isnt very loud and there isnt much aftermarket stuff yet, but the dealer told me bout this thing called a cherrybomb or somethin like that, its 40 bucks and it plugs in to computer and with the yoshi pipe gives it like 7 more hp. it looks pretty good too. theres a lot more little detail that you cant really see in pics. the fenders have litle air vents in em, it looks really good.
hopeully ill go ridin tomorrow. if it dont stop rainin we wont go cuz pops dont want it all muddy, and he dont wanna get wet. but if i go ill have better details for ya

ok, i just got back from ridin. man that 450 is SU-WEEET. the suspension is so great, specially compared to my little 2-five-0. on the track (was rutted, pot holes etc) it was a little rough, suspension felt a little too stiff. but then i went on some trails and it soaked up the woops so nicely. you could barely tell they were even there.
and man does this thing have power. we still breakin it in (half throttle B.S) but it was still fast. it went up hills like nuthin. i can only really compare it to the 250 cuz i havent rode anything else enough to judge it well, but the 250 would struggle up hills and the 450 went up em in any gear, never bogged.
there werent really many jumps were i was so i havent tested that yet.
there wasnt much about it that was bad. the only thing was sometimes it wouldnt go in gear from nuetral, if you click it down from N, the N light would turn off, but sometimes it would still be in nuetral, so you have to give a lttle gas and click down more. other than that it was SU-WEET
anything you guys wanna know just ask. ill try and answer. i prolly wont be on durin the week that often cuz a school, but ill try.

well i just got back from the sand dunes and i raced a few bikes. i outran another 350 warrior that was stock. i was pretty much even with a modded 300ex, he had a jet kit, pipe and filter. he had better paddle tires than me, so it just depended who got off the line better. i raced my friends 400 ex that has a cam, jet kit, open air box, pipe, and header. well he got me about 4-5 bike lengths but he was out running raptors. i guess i need to go ahead and get rid of the rev limiter, port the head, header and maybe change the carb. i know it needs some tuning because when you nail it off idle it sputters. i'm gonna try to get that out first.
