Got to agree on that one. Even if it wasn't for the fact that the db has the full blown true 450, just by the power to weight ratio of the two the bike would walk away from the quad........I'd be cool to have both though.

Did you guys read the latest article in Dirt Wheels? They run the two against eacxh other in different track/trail conditions. Rider was pro ATV & Motorcrosser. Interesting.

On pavement, this probably true.

But in the sand, the traction afforded by two FAT driving wheels, compared to one narrow one is suprising. The quad will roast the bike, just in traction alone. (I have a video on it, that shows the bike getting smoked in the drags.....I would post it but I don't have a website....)

On hardpack, the bike may not get the first 20 ft for the same traction reasons, but after that, it's all over with the bike way out front.

In theory, what you are saying is true about the sand. But in reality its not. A paddle tire on a dirt bike = awesome traction in the sand. Quads just don't compare to bikes. Sure, bikes have been beaten by quads in all sorts of races. But if you put a STOCK YFZ450 (with paddles) against a STOCK YZ450F (with paddle), the bike will come out on top. When I had my YZ250, the only quad I ever lost an uphill drag race in the sand to was a 250R which the owner said was bored out to 350 and had a butt load of work done to. I don't know how truthful he was, but it doesnt matter. He won. And I still think he would have won even if I was using a paddle that day, which I was not. But it would have been much closer. He simply had an amazing 250R with probably no less then $15,000 invested (judging by all the trick aftermarket parts and mods he was talking about).
