My '07 MXU500 has been a good one. I have made a few changes to it like added ITP wheels/tires, added a winch and aftermarket pipe. Also removed two roller weights from the CVT.

The 500 has good mid and high range power....it really wakes up after you break it in (400- 500 miles) . The clutch mod has really impoved the low end.

400Racer.....I would love to race. Everytime we go out riding, me and my son are always in race mode. That race at Ironman looked like our kind of riding.

He (my son) is real good...I need to get him into racing. I am getting him a Mongoose300 maybe the first of the year. He can't decide if he wants to race go-karts or 4 wheelers. I can't afford both hobbies :P

4 wheeler racing is definately more fun imo. But regardless you should race a few of these locals. Check out www.mideastinterstate.com. It would be a great way to start. That is how i got started.
