Title: TWMX KX500AF Test
Post by: MXLord327 on December 22, 2009, 11:25:11 AM

I thought this was a very good article - right up to the author's (Brendan Lutes) conclusion at the end.  Even though he was consistently 3 seconds per lap faster on the 2-stroke, he still says he would pick the KX450f for his race bike!  Unbelievable!!??  How much money does the average racer throw into their 450f and still not pick up 3 seconds per lap???  Plus since 500's only rev to 6000-7000 rpm, top ends last forever, no valves to replace - ever.  Just goes to show how ingrained the 4 stroke mentality is to the mainstream magazines.  Even when something is clearly better, they still cannot bring themselves to endorse it.

MXLord327 - I could not agree more.... how could someone consistently improve their lap times by 3 seconds and choose the "slower" bike?

Could it be that he got a "free" four-stroke bike from Kawasaki?

Has he been brainwashed?

Man.... is that crazy or what??

What a weak article from the Transworld clowns. Lutes and Meada are doing a great job promoting the 4 stroke propaganda as always. The Service Honda KX 500 is way faster, more fun to ride but I'll take the 450 instead!?
