bykas Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) This bike handles incredibly in the sand and has brutal traction straight out of the hole through the 5th gear wheelie, leaving a big fat 15ft rooster all the way. Edited September 3, 2009 by bykas Quote
dunefreak Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 sick bike! Those conversions seem like they'd be badass. Quote
bykas Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 sick bike! Those conversions seem like they'd be badass. If you like riding bikes and had a chance to try one of these out, I guarantee you would be hooked. They are an absolute adrenaline rush to ride and soooo much easier to handle and control in the sand than a regular dirt bike. If your ever visit Oregon, let me know we have a vacation house on Saunders Lake a half block from the dunes, we'll throw some sand around. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 looks like you need to slide the wheel back a bit for the paddles to clear the swingarm or are you just going with the self clearancing option Quote

I didnt think they would leave any rubber but they did. I'll remember to trim them off next time. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 thats quite a bit more than the nipples bud.. you forget that the tire expands at rev's Quote
RUn2it Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 thats quite a bit more than the nipples bud.. you forget that the tire expands at rev's I 2nd ISBB, I have taken pics of quads at speed and even the flat track tires get round. Quote
Free Agent Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Looking forward to seeing it one the dunes. I'd wager it runs good. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I saw a video of the 500 and it looked like a blast.. Couldnt keep the front end on the ground Quote

Couldnt keep the front end on the ground Here's some new video of the YZ450 at the Oregon Dunes. Will have helmet cam video through the tight twisty trails soon.

Raptor0206 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 yeah after that video if i had a dirty bike i would sooo get a fat paddle! nice! Quote
bykas Posted September 3, 2009 Author Posted September 3, 2009 that thing turns real nice. When we get the Helmet cam video it will really show how well and quick it turns in the tight trails. Quote
