If he would be that old it would make me, well nevermind it just can't be true. Yup he’s something like a hundred and 20. He started whey he was 10. I think The Green Mile was based on his life!!

The Yamaha was nothing special, and I had to twist it harder to get the same results as the Beta, especially in the corners it lacked grunt. Certainly not in a different league. A YZ450FX lacked grunt? Are you a Sasquatch like @Mongo134 and @shrubitup? 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 500rr and yz450f both make 32wtrq of grunt.... but the yz puts down 6-8 more whp with 50 less cc. Edited January 18 by Zinergy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IDK, I've yet to ride a 450 that lacked grunt, so I just assumed Sasquatch. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, 2007 husaberg FE450 does have good grunt low and lower mid range but once you hit mid range on up, very little rev and very little pull compared to most 450s. Complete trail bike. Works great for a 15-year-old kid coming off of a KX 100 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The FX shits all over the 480/500 with similar gearing. Personally I don’t like the feel of the 500. My buddy does his best to convince me the Beta is better than the Yamaha for snow bikes but the YZ makes more peak HP and regardless of what people say that’s what you need with a track kit. 3 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny Depp Posted January 18 Back to the topic.. From SDM Corse Beta 4 action photos, hit the arrow on the right of the picture for more. So far you can see forks, seat, exhaust, map switch and rear wheel are different. Whipping those Beta's into shape! https://www.instagram.com/p/CKJ8BmLjpkV/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
