That said, you are flat out wrong about the new 4Ts being down on power vs the old 2Ts.
A stock Banshee makes about 37hp. A stock 450r makes about 39hp.
The old 2Ts were cheap to make fast, they were loud and they hit like a ton of bricks once on the pipe. Just because the new bikes are more quiet and make power in a more linear fashion doesn't mean they are down on power. |
The 450's from the last couple years are putting out over 50hp.
I loved how Honda was king of the hill with the 300 and 400 ex. Then Yami came out with the Yfz450r and threw em on their ear.
