Well the 5hundy is a freaking hand full. My brother and I rode it two days this past week and I love that monster. It is like no other bike I have ridden in the sand or dirt. The front end needs some attention and then it will be good. If you have never thrown a leg over the seat of a 500cc two stroke, I say never let the chance pass you by. I have a ten cup paddle that will be going on pretty soon. How does it compare to a 450??? The 500 is twice the bike on the power end. I put a 13oz flywheel weight on her for now and it's still alot. My arms are going to surpass popeye's by the end of next year if I keep riding it. I have no regret's getting rid of the 450. I can ring the shit out of my 134 on the tracks and where ever I ride it and will never buy another 4poker unless the fagot ass government bans 2 smokers. Long Live the 2stroke.
