a 400ex is more comparable to a ninja 250 on power..

A 450r is a little more like a sport bike, in the fact it has tons of power and not a whole lot of low end torque.

But of course, side to side balance comes into play on a sport bike big time, especially at low speeds.

quads can teach brake control, and it transfers directly to sport bikes. After learning brake control on a 50/quad, It literally took me 5 wheelies to have it 'figured out' on my sport bike

cmon son!! im not a noob...i can ride.... and i know it is way more dificult to hold idle on stock gears than w/ a 60t! the f4i is such a bog machine anytime you brake the engine down below idle rpm's it has a hard time recovering w/o bliping the throttle..... im not sayin you cant do it, but for a beginner to try and get slow stuff it would be benificial for him to start out geared down....that was all i was saying.... stock gearing took its toll on my clutches too..... get a sprocket you will be better off
