and fulltilt, the first year the 450s came out it was just the yfz which builders had no experience on, so of course the tested and proven R would do best then, just look at the new ds 450 and the ktm, ya there great quads but there not winning since there new and not many people have gone to them

we are both wrong... 368 dry

and add gas oil and coolent to the R and your at about 368 so what ever, i really cant feel the difference in weight that much even in stock form, the quad just has such a nice feel to it

The 250r winning in 04 does not mean a whole lot. Four stroke mx is completely different than two stroke mx. It will take time after you switch to be able to ride to your full potential. With that said, I think the 250R is a very capable quad. I'm not sure how well it could compete at 250cc, but as long as it is close the rider will make the difference. Gust could probably beat a lot of people on a stock blaster.

I agree the ltr has a nice feel to it, I think a lot of that is due to how smooth the power is. What I am confused on is how are you going to drop weight on an ltr? You will be adding nerf bars and various other mx components. The tires are already 18s and 20s, so you won't lose any weight there. What extra weight can you drop?

[fastR of puppets]

like i said, fox float evol xs 5lbs off, pb block off 3lbs off, kick start kit 11lbs off, dasa exhaust 3lbs off, black blob removal 1lb, walsh swingarm 3 lbs off, lighter tires 2 lbs off

so that right there is 25lbs off, and theres still room for more wieght to be lost

All i know is i own a Stroker 86r with vforce 3 reeds, 38as, esr5, coolhead and run a 50/50 mix and i havent seen many 450s hang with me. I also own a 07 yfz450. Very nice bike but its no R. Thats why its the wifes.

You guys are trying to talk someone who just spent tons of money on a 4 stroke into thinking 2 strokes are better,its not gonna happen. To each his own
I love pepsi but im not going to go to the coca cola forums and trying to tell everyone that they are wrong.

fastr Why do you feel the need for people here to agree that the ltr is a great machine? Who cares what we think?
You spent the cash you love the quad what else matters.

I traded my 400ex for a 250r,but i didnt stay in the 400ex forums and try to tell everyone about how cool the 250r is.
