Of course, white knuckle has the most logical plan out of all these replies.
All the bikes are so good from production that most privateers(remember guys, these are the non picky riders not the ones who spend countless hours on the nicest test tracks with separate suspension and motor mechanics) could pick pretty much any new brand and race it at their normal level. The only one that isn't much of a privateer choice is the yz250f, due to it still having a carb and the motor being fairly outdated. A yer ago I wouldn't said all ktms but there are a few of 250fs out there. Not so many 350/450s if any at all

some bikes feel better for taller or shorter riders ,plus riding styles.
best bet ,go w/ lightest bike for your choice of racing. but also consider geometry needed for say sx racing.
for privateers, contingency money on a brand plays a big part.
Ax is another story.....short and tight so it must be easy to ride and put the power to the ground. Suspension must get you threw the woops.
KTM's are " Ready to Race " out of the box.
If your racing pro then I would put part support above any stock bike performance...
Pit Row
(Btw I'm on a 06 crf 450)
Personally.... I would go YZ or KTM 250 Two Stroke
How much for an exhaust on a 4 stroke again???
If I were racing am and need support Kawi is the only way to go. Good payout from them and their rider support is top notch.
Look, I agree with most of your statement; however, -2- birds, One-Stone...Loose weight (at the outter-most area of the bike with the RS4 silencer) and get a helluva good pipe.
Then there's a glide plate from Willy (Light-Speed): Light and effective.
Put about $2K in strategically located Ti and you've got some proper weight savings/mass centralization goin' on.
Replace the disposable frt rotor with a Glafer Wave (Add's a lil' rotating mass, tho!)
Enzo suspenders.
Tires are a non-claimer: yer gonna run Dunlops at any AMA event...most likely...about $100 a set, pro-price.
Piston, program and a lil' head-work.
The "Cheaper" approach to a Hinson (Jus' the p-plate/plates & springs).
The usual bars and levers (Altho ALL of it ADDS weight).
Cost: $5K on a bad-day for a decent Pro.
What did ya get?
A bike that can run competively in the SX or Nat's series.
Btw, "Yes", the CRF450R would be the easiest to accomplish the task with...and it "Pays" better!
