Great stuff I just got back from the NW Gathering. Took my TE511 and there were lots of 449/511's out there. Tried a lot of bikes and despite the mags thrashing the bike and bad press these 449/511 stand up just fine back to back with the new fancy 310 and the 165 bikes no problem. Nothing to be ashamed of and truthfully liked my 511 and the other 449/511 as much or more than the 310's and 125/144/165's that were there. It is a great platform many of us love and many of us are finding out about. Russ was there and he brought a freind (Josh) that just bought one after riding Russ'. Sold his GG 300 ASAP and got one and never looked back. It is a solid well loved platform I hope is here to stay for a while.
I dig my 2012 TC449, and they seem to be as fast as any 450 out there. I do wish they started a little quicker, but that is a small complaint.
In dead engine GP/XC starts, which are common hereabouts the slow starting is a bit annoying.... So you have to catch them from behind coming into turn 1.. And then disappear ...... And this is the result.... ..a two minute lead at the end.... which was one of our tighter finishes this year for the 1R TXC511, and that guy Nelson didnt do too bad on his WR250 either.
