Guys, i have a question, I dont like to drag race, at all and rarely take part in it, i drag raced a 450r the first time I rode my dale just to shut some mouths, and it worked.
My question is this; A cannibal with 18 inch tires on the rear and the moto mapping (VS) a stock 450r honda, which bike is flat out faster?
I smoked the one i raced, but the rider was not quite my level so i think i had an unfair advantage, so now all i hear is smack about how i was lucky and next time i go out all these 450r jockies are going to run me down, what are friends for lol?

You said stock 450r. The cannibal is faster, same rider and the dale will pull it every time. Now, put a pipe on the 450r and you have a **** of a race.

LOL, I made a friend of mine really scratch his head after I did a little fun drag race with him on his 450r.

His mods were 13:1 piston, pipe and silencer, carb off the 450 dirtbike, aftermarket air filter, one of those ignition modules with the selectable power curves, and 18inch tires. Not sure on the gearing. I think it was stock.

My mods were big gun silencer, moto map, 18inch tires, 14/42 gearing.

We did a gentle start on pavement and then pinned the throttle while shifting through the gears. We were side by side the whole way. I couldn't get past him, and he couldn't get past me. After we stopped I reminded him how my motor was stock. hehe

What gearing are you running? I'd put a pipe on it. I see you were going after the HMF that's for sale. Do you have a D&M kit? The moto speed map is nice, but If I know I'm gonna be drag racing, I'll swap to a specific Nac's map. I also start in 3rd gear with 14-40 gearing and 18 inch tires and always got the holeshot. BTW, Stock 450's haven't been a problem with my moto, the only ones that keep up are the modded YFZ's.

Scooter, I'm not that far from ya. I'm up here in Elgin. If you ever need a hand with anything let me know.
