I can't beat the deal I'm getting. If nothing falls through, I should have a '10 Kx450f for $2200 off sticker and only $1000 off of the price of used 08's.

Edit: Does it really do over 100mph???

If it is geared right and done up as a supermoto it should. Again, with proper gearing I don't see a reason why a 450 set up for dirt wouldn't, though with that small front brake and dirt tires I can think of a few reasons why one shouldn't.

I get that on a supermoto setup, but like I said when its set up for the dirt with knobbies and small rotor it becomes a less than stellar idea.

You have to get the biggest front sprocket and the smallest rear and it will hit it at the VERY top of the highest gear.(either 4th or 5th depending on the year 450)
