The fun factor is off the hook with the 350, and I can do almost twice as many laps as I could on the 450 at speed.
Currently on a 2020 FC350.
I haven't raced it since the remap, but map 2 w/TC off will pull the front end up easily whenever I want. My boys say I am noticeably faster on the 350 than on my last 450. And I can feel that, and I am faster, longer. A properly setup 350 is the viagra of moto for me,

Not sure if get/vortex ECU would help me with 350f as bike have plenty of power you just need to turn more gas and be active. Better/younger rider will be faster on 450f but older guy like me lap times are same. Bigger bike little faster on short run but 350f will make it back later.
That being said, 450's are heavy, hard to turn, and when something goes wrong it can go REALLY wrong, REALLY quickly.
They might not have been great bikes in 2012, but now? Man, they are everything I could want.
More power than a 250f, so they can be lugged a bit, but they also love to be rose mid-high RPM’s. They flat out fly but don’t have the “rip your arms off” feel as much as a 450.
As mainly a two stroke rider, you will gel well with the 350.
I heard VitalMX/Ping are working on a 350 build with Twisted that makes more HP than a 450! It will be interesting to see the video on that!

But these things are a blast! If you’re looking for something a little less physical, but no less of a rush, visit a local track. By physical, I mean the jarring, bumps and ruts. The acceleration, braking and cornering forces on the R6 are very impressive and moving it side to side quickly at high speed is work. Just different than a dirt bike. And if you like fiddling with bikes there is so much you can do to these things.
Anyway, just thought I’d share. Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

No bottom and like rocket when it starts to rev. Those 350:is are more then a handfull on higher rpms, those 350 engines are powerfull to say the least.
