Oh boy, here we go... :roll:

"if" traction is ideal, and "If" you can efficiently launch your KX500 you will kick the $hit out of any stock or even modded 450F...

however be warned, a 450F "can" beat the KX500 if the opportunity with the above mention variables is presant..... Trust me I know I have a KX500 and a YZ450F, 75% of the time the KX500 wins.....

Road race? Traction shouldn't be much of a problem. Keep the front end down and get off the line quick and its not even a question. Then again, 600 feet later a bad start might not break the race for you.

Let us know how you do! Nothing like whooping a shiny new CRF with a 17 year old monster!

moonie:
Thanks guys i will let you know who win the race.

How much weight difference is there between you two, that will play more of a role than power.  If your 250lbs and he is 125lbs you might not win...
