I bought a 4 stroke, 2 of them actually. First came the xr650r that I am using as a dual sport/ desert sled, contemplating running the vegas to reno bike. I know most of you will let me off the hook for this one. Then I go over to my buddies house. "Dude you want this 450 ?" No man I'm a 2 stroke guy those things are too much maintenance. "It's got an athena Big bore 480 kit in it, its like a 500" No it's not, you ever notice everyone says there bike is like a 500, you know why? because thats the standard for badass power that 450 is a joke. "Dude it's only got 3 hours on the top end I barely rode the thing you can have it for $1200 and pay me whenever".........shit, put it in the truck.
So I own a 450 now, I rode it the other day and the thing was almost like cheating, so easy. I was going to sell it but I think I am going to use it for old man riding around the track bike instead of throwing the stock tank on my steely. Let the thrashing begin, but I kind of like the thing it has pretty wicked power....its like a 500

I figure I'll ride her till she blows and then put the motor out of my IT465 in it.
