    The 400 absolutely destroys everyone else on the hill climbs and tight technical sections, and can hold its own everywhere else on the track too. Gotta love that smooth torque!

    I love how you passed all the two strokes on that big hill in the beginning while they were spinning there butts off that was priceless! Then when you get on the trails the big thumper is just chugging along not even breaking a sweat, great riding man!

    Nice work. Third place on an old XR400 is impressive. It may not have the most modern suspension or fuel injection, but it's still a rock-solid bike. Just goes to show that riding skill is a waaay bigger factor than the bike. Well done.

      Yea racing in the trails is pretty dangerous as is at the motocross track.
      having said that…. just cruising along on the trails or at the track can be a really enjoyable activity and staying within your limits means that you will probably stay uninjured

    Rode the Sh*t outta the XR. Big thumbs up. Hill Climb at 8:20 was brutal to the other riders. Ho hum tractor pull time. Poor dude at 8:25 is probably still trying to get out of the cliff. Hate the word but an Epic ride sir.

      It would best be described as a "Hare scramble "and don't ask me where that name comes from!

      I've put new heavier springs and race-tech gold valves in the forks

    @johncarlson1877 5 лет назад

    You need to move the inside mounts of the acerbis ? Handguards to the outside so they aren't bent, this gives you more hand room and also looks better to the rider most importantly and then others... the jeep wins again???
