With the USRA motocross series in full swing already, I have to play catch up if I am going to get my new stock Honda 450R in proper racing order.

A few months ago while riding my stock Honda 400ex, I noticed that a few things had changed. I noticed was that I had hit a impasse in my riding performance. I finally reached that point where my abilities had surpassed my machine's. After years of practice and plenty of spills, I was going faster, jumping higher and further, and generally riding harder than I had in the past.
