Not that much different to a WR450, plus you have the rego.

How is it all going?

Wheelies on the tards are ok, but what does catch you out is when you put it back to dirt trim. Goddam it comes up fast!!

Pffft. My ZRX came up yesterday in 3rd gear over a small rise and it weighs a million tonnes. I would think the tard could do it in road trim easy enough. Bring on the "let's see who can wheelie Pinchy's tard" challenge at Marulan next week. :lol:

SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT! there is a slight rise coming onto the straight, its a freeking launching pad, even Cath saw a good foot of clean air off it getting on the gas,
wont mention the bit about stuffing turn 1 after that because her grin was too big :P

Guys I think you are forgetting how much power a dirt bike has and where in the rev range It delivers it.

The tard will only have about 40-50hp and delivers all of that down low.

When you come onto the straight your in second and when you hit that launch pad your alittle to high in third for it just to come up naturally under power. Sure you can still do it and I have plenty of times but they were all consciously down not just from power.
