Btw, the fastest I'd go on the track is probably on my 2021 CRF450X. No shit.

I bet you're right though.
And it sounds like the clutch is slipping. Too much over rev.

Still don't get the point, anyway. Oh well, it's Ryan Hugues.

Muddy. They just made a little turn track on the start line because it’s a hill and was dry.
Just like with a modern 450, the clever people work on getting them easy to ride , whereas others just want to make them faster , so they cant hang onto them.
And remember we were riding those 500's on proper tracks, not the overgroomed and jump and rutfests we have today , tracks that had bumps that had birthday parties.
I raced a KX500 at Unadilla in 19, and it was far easier to ride round there when it wasnt ripped, than it would have been back at my local track 30 years before.
Here is an old article where the author races a RM-Z450 against Ryan Hughes who rides four different machines, all the way down to a DRZ125.

I'll take KX112 for $500 Alex.
Dirt Bike magazine did that back in 1996, so we're talking about bikes before 4-strokes took over.
