IMO the only down fall to the DRZ is that it is a little heavier. May not have as much power as the 450 but with a little mods is far from a slug. I rock one as a street stunt bike and a track bike. I can smoke 600 and depending on how tight the track is some 1000. FCR carb and full exhaust makes a huge difference. Fixing to bump up to a 440 BB kit and hot cams. Recently rode a DRZ set up like this and it was scary fast. But the best thing about the DRZ even with these mods is that it is way more reliable. Depending on how much/hard you ride you better be ready to do a hell of a lot of maintanence on a traditional 450 mx bike.
