trx500r vs crf450r, trx450r

[coolcatmat11]

hey, im buliding a trx500r quad,250x frame, leagers 250r swingarm and axle,1984 motor(air cooled) k&n filter, going to up the jet size but havent done it yet, psi pipe, power reeds..... and i was looking for some edicated guesses for how fast it will be say on a dirtroad straight drag race against a 07 crf450r (completly stock), and a trx450r also stock. i have never drove the quad yet or a cr500 for that matter, but i would think the crf would beat me, im not sure about trx450r though....what do you guys think???????

If you ever get traction you will kill the 450r. The bike is a differant matter tho... He's lighter but with one wheel and less power hes still going to spin. But you have more traction and more power and more weight. Pro's and cons just line up and see. Get video of it too.

ill make sure i get a video of it when im done i just got my kick starter gear back from the machine shop so the engine will be complete now, about the weight i think i would weight not much more then the crf cause im only 150 lbs and my quad is under 300 for sure, its tiny, so say a total of 450 pounds. my friends bike weighs 235lbs and he weights about as much as the bike so i think i have that advantage ..... ill just have to line up and do it sooner then later i hope
