is the 2011 TC449 really that bad!?!?

Hey all so a TC449 came up locally for sale. (2011 mod. for $3800 AUD) and it really caught my eye. It looks so sleek and nice. I looked up some reviews and people diss them so hard!!! Why is this!?!? I looked up youtube videos and most videos of them, they are hauling @ss around the MX tracks!!! Does anyone own one? Do you think it's bad? Why is this!?!?! I would own one in a heart beat!! Also, i know just by looking at the capacities, the 449 will be quicker but how much faster will a 449 be than my 2013 cr125? Will a 449 destroy me, coming off of my 125?

Ah OK cheers. Yeah first time I got a husky it defiantly did feel different to my Hond . But now I love them! A fellow wants go swap his 2011 449 for my 2013 CR125 but I'm not too sure what to do yet.

I would think a TC449 would destroy a honda cr125. I bought a te310 because my kid's 511 was TOO powerful.

Stock, i think the '11 449 needs some work. Some mods are cheap and easy, others (PCV) take some money. But after its a great bike.

Oh ok yeah, i'm worried if i swap my CR it'll be too big for me to handle.

well, that *might* be a concern. it won't hit like the cr (it'll pull steady) but when tuned right: a frikken starship. controllable, but fast.

like I said... I bought my 310 because my sons 511 was so hairy to hold on to above 5000rpms.

TCs also miss out on 6th gear from the transmission(compared to the TE)
Ok around an mx track, but will reduce top speed if riding in the open.
As mentioned above, engine tuning much better than the TE series.

Ah ok thanks for that. Still considering whether to go with it or not, it will be 2 years older but i guess the technology will be far better, considering 2 strokes haven't really evolved much.
