Re: yamaha blaster? quick or not.

just got back from mexico and saw a guy tearing up the track nearby on a YFZ450 with paddles and man I am gonna get the TRX450 if anything now, maybe the YFz but Im more of a honda fan. my brother in law bought an old 80 TT500 while we were down there, 600 bucks but it had new shocks, the huge plastic tank for LONG rides, a new spare clutch cable in place that just needs the ends connected if the current one breaks, I guess the guy was getting ready to entere one of tghe baja races or whatever. but holy smokes that thing is a monster. so much power. I didnt do the compression release thing right my first attempt on starting it and just started walking again this afternoon. my ankle was huge and black and blue and it threw my shin into the bars and bruised that too. once I figured it out though I could start it with my hurt ankle though so no big deal, didnt get too crazy on it though as I havent even touched a dirt bike for almost 4 years Id say.

and cndctrdj, what do you mean no power, is it that you are just spoiled from your cr500? lol

cuz the 250's my uncle has are still fun and have decent power but they just lack any speed whenyou get em in the open, the 300's we rented once were good all around, I kept pulling up step dunes through all gears and it goes pretty good, figured the 400 must be alot better still.

Im getting ready to sell my 2 cars and Im gona buy a nice clean 97+ dodge dakota or something similar, ive found alot for around 3500-4k and I should have enough to put half down on a new YFZ/TRX 450 or buy a used 400EX/KFX400/Z400.

saw that KFX700, wasnt the first one a 750?
just not sure what it wouod feel like riding a quad with a CVT, probably prety nice as fr as staying in the powerband but just seems like you dont get to control anything so it wont be as fun.
