When asked how the 449 was, Guy replied:

"On this kind of stuff it is awesome! No wonder the Ty Davis team are doing so well in the desert…this thing is really stable. It goes straight as an arrow and we just got our steering dampers, so it was straight line all the time. The power isn’t crazy compared to the Japanese 450Fs, but a lot more torquey so I didn’t have to downshift like those guys. It’s a tractor! It’s really good."
