[QUOTE="2stroke, post: 1449785, member: 25668"] Ive been riding a long time, but Im stuck in the past. My Brother is a bit older than I am and I remember watching him race in the .late '70s......When I was old enough to ride, one of his racing buddies that still lived in the neighborhood gave me one of his old racing bikes and that was what I rode around the rest of my youth and even into my adulthood. I've been racing vintage class motocross for the last 15 years, still on old bikes. Ive been on some friend's bikes over the years, a 2000 YZ250, and a 2006 YZ450...just a few laps each mind you. My racers are as follows: 1972 Kawasaki F9, 1975 KX400 and a 1981 YZ465. Lets say I do buy a 4 stroke 450, a 2006 or so that is in good working order. If a fat old guy like me just rides it for fun about 5 times a year, MAYBE entering into a modern support class once in a while at the vintage events...am I looking at a maintenance nightmare or what? I am not a fast rider, I wont be pushing it believe me. I do all my own work anyway, I mean full rebuilds, crank work, etc...so not afraid of doing the work, but what is the upkeep like for a 450 that is treated mildly? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
