As far as riding goes I def consider myself just as good if not better than my buddy we started riding years ago, his 450 is far from stock I think he's got like hot cams, k&n, pipes, jetted, few other mods.........as far as the t-6s im pretty much setup for low end so that works and planned on an aggressive trail port, I could try the 15t front 40t rear for some more top end
