i was referring to my 600 which is just shy of 450 (its from 1992) but 100 lbs shouldn't make that much of a difference. if anything i would trust the bigger bike to stay on the ground. maybe you have never had a sliding wheel catch the tiger teeth and flip the bike after a lowside? i have seen highsides turn into lowsides and lowsides turn into highsides. you can't predict what a bike sliding on its side or upside down is going to do. sure you can take a guess that if you drop the bike going 35, its probably not enough force to flip the bike very much.
