Went riding last weekend and raced my buddies freshly built YFZ 450. He has GYTR full exhaust, ESR Intake, 13:1 standard bore piston, full head port, re-jet, revbox and hotcams. I have an '04 raptor with a 686cc kit. Full Yosh pipe, 12.5:1 piston, full head port, Dynatech Rev Box, Stage 1 Hotcam, open air box and +6 extended swingarm. I'm 6'8 and 330 lbs. and my buddy is 5'5 and 160 lbs. soaking wet. So I already went into this race with low expectations. But we lined up on a straight away and took off. I jumped him right off the line and by 2nd gear I had two bike lengths. It wasn't till 5th gear that he started knocking on my door and eventually passed. We did this a number of times, and I was happy to say the least about the 'ol raptors performance condsidering the 170 lbs. weight difference. I give him props, that 450 screams. Anybody else got any good races.

Look in a 300ft drag since you was in 5ft gear.. you beat him in a drag race. That also depends if you was raceing for top end too.. That would be a different story.. but you could have geared your bike to go top end.. And you probably would have beat him also.... Thats awesome... 1 for the raptors...

Look, there is a guy that I know that is 6'4-5 his weight is about 280-290 and I weigh about 205.. We almost have the same set up but has the barker pipes and a bigger carb I mean way bigger.. and we both have stage twos.. Well I get him out the hole and he reels me in and passes me on the other end before the end 300ft
