FWIW : I've got a WR450F in my garage right now. I've ridden the KTM 500 XC-W, 450 EXC-F (carb'ed and newer EFI).. and I swear I've been out for a whirl on a CRF450x, although now that I think hard maybe not. I even had the luxury of trying a YZ450 SM out on track moments after climbing off my DRZ400SM. If there was ever a moment to pound home what you're saying, that was it.
