yeah i know what you mean, my g/f's brother bought a yfz450 had it for 4 months and spun a rod bearing, so much for the "durable" 4-stroke

I'm shocked that no manufacturer ever produced anything to compare with it. You'd figure somewhere along the line someone else would've put out another twin-cylinder 2-stroke to compete directly with it (kinda like Yamaha and Honda with the 450's).

I didn't necessarily mean actually compete with it. I just meant no other manufacturer made a similar motor to compete with it's sales.

no problem, I knew I should've been clearer with what I was trying to say. Don't you think that's weird though? I mean yeah there's a 660 craptor, but hell it's a single cylinder and there's that big "I should have camoflauge colored plastic" Kawasaki 700 Sherman tank of a thing. They are close enough aren't they? But where's the twin-cylinder 450cc Kawasaki 2-stroke?

Eh, I'm just making conversation. I don't think I'm going anywhere with this....

that 700cc sherman tank is actually the new V-force thats what big k's GF has. it is one of the few 4 pokes that i can respect. believe me that bitch ahs some low end. i rode it. it's not nearly as fast as a shee but it rides like a caddy and has power like a peterbilt. i hate the auto trans, rev.,and elec start. i'm used to bare bones machines not this fancy rooty poo kinda shit. all that thing needs is AC and a cd player
