Does your Dog bite?
Spent Friday and Saturday riding the fo-fiddy for the first time. Totally stock, installed skidplate and barkbusters early Friday morning. No time to hookup tuner or mount proper tires. Still, this is one heck of a bike

More dualsport mayhem. Instead of riding the expensive gondola up to the Squamish Chief, we rode to the top. Much snow was roostified. Popped into the outdoor pub for a well deserved beverage with Taras and Captain Kirk

Very singletrack capable. The loose and massively steep hill just before this picture was an absolute treat. It's a real sweetheart of a 450; linear and smooth. JD Tuner smooths out the rough edges

Not quite as exciting of a ride as some of the other guys, but at least I got to ride.

When the time comes that's the plan. But hell, I have a wopping 300 ish miles on the bike. Might be awhile

Put a few more miles on the stock tires. Riding opportunities seem to be slim for me lately. Thinking about slabbing it back and forth to work just to get some riding in.
Go ahead and wear them OEMs out.Put a few more miles on the stock tires. Riding opportunities seem to be slim for me lately. Thinking about slabbing it back and forth to work just to get some riding in.
We have stacks and stacks of tires in stock for when you are ready for more tires

A 450 anything is not my ideal singletrack enduro bike. But this one does it with a grace that (mostly) belies it's weight. It's well balanced, and brilliantly suspended. The power is remarkably friendly in tight terrain. Of course I would have preferred my 300 two-stroke, but this was still plenty of fun. If I was doing more tight singletrack, I'd be inclined to add a couple of teeth on the rear sprocket. But the stock gearing (unlike the stock tires) is remarkably well matched to the bike's sweet spot

I’m absolutely not a 450 guy. But the season I put on the WR 450 I was shocked how versatile it was. A true do anything anywhere dirt bike. I have slight regrets in its sale.A 450 anything is not my ideal singletrack enduro bike. But this one does it with a grace that (mostly) belies it's weight.

Tight Woods work aint one of them. It can do it, but it aint fun like a 250/300
