Knowing full well I have had my sights on the 450 for some time, you felt compelled to drive the stake in a little deeper now didn't you? The 505SX looks to have my name all over it!

Yes I know, which is a partial reason for me honing in on new info relating to those 2 quads. I like to antagonize you with them.

What can I say, I live to

I've been drooling over these things for some time now as well. That's just wrong dude....just wrong.

Well you and G-Dub need to just get off some change and buy 'em. Then see who can out-mod the other.

I figure y'all are just so used to the power of the 660 and 700 (or lack thereof compared to the 450 or 505), you're scrared that at your ages something so sporty and fast may bust your

.

It's OK girls, you can admit your fears.
