Tony Alessi said it in his pulpmx interview about the hp "disadvantage" as some would call it.....he said the 350 has 10lbs LESS rotating mass than a 450 and being at or slightly above the 50hp mark is pretty dam close in a class where riders don't even pump up 450 engines so lets assume 55hp (w/o windhams 63hp bike) if the 350 is close enough in HP numbers with 10lbs less rotating mass the engine is able to spin that much quicker with less effort, though I am not a physicist that 10lbs equates to a very even playing field in terms of drag and inertia. The bike will be every bit as fast as a 450 but easier to handle and throw around.....add a flywheel weight to your bike and see how quick it rev's compared to when it did before....even a 10oz weight will make a big difference and were talking 10lbs?
MXA did a story on Jarred "Jet" Browne's SX bike for this year and it is a 2009 yes 2009 Kawi 450 with a pipe on it THTA'S IT. Other than a hinson clutch assembly the engine was BONE stock and he has had some impressive showings this year in SX for a guy on a stock engine.....IMO a 450 might have a little too much HP for stadiums but outdoors it can be fully utilized. I may be going out on a limb here but I actually think James would have an unfair advantage on the 350 just based on how he rides a bike based on his career( now this is just my observation) he seems to ride a bike better when the HP numbers are lower.....Or just for the hell of it get on a factory Yamaha YZ250 and see what you can do indoors if he can make it back this season before we go outdoors and play
