[QUOTE="TurtleShifter, post: 155400, member: 217"] That's what I was thinking. You can hear the 450's power fade out and knowing how my 500 did in the sand dunes figured it would be the same in the snow.:thumb: In keeping in real though, I don't care for any bike comparisons when the outcome can be influenced by the riders. You now get into the potential of perceived manipulation to a desired outcome. True story. As kids, me and my brother both had '74 XR75's. He put a Powroll big bore kit on his bike. Mine just had a DG pipe. He was older than me by 2 years, I was 11, he 13. We we're drag racing on a dry lake. I let him win cause he was my big brother and he put his paper route money into making his bike "faster" and I looked up to him. I had "more throttle" but didn't use it. Outcomes can be manipulated is all I'm saying. But I do agree that I would think that the 500 would suit this application much better. [/QUOTE]
