Wow, what an awesome bike. I got a good 80mile ride in today with a bunch of fast guys on some really wet dirt. The riding consisted of medium speed sand washes, tight techinical single-tracks and a short stint on a buddies backyard moto-x track. I only found one problem the 4 speed gearbox is really limited on top-speed, but everything else was great. I especially appreciated how good the 450 handles, it feels as if it was 30lbs lighter than my 650 and the suspension soaked up everything from a 30ft double to a bowling ball size rock with eaze. Line choice was superb it could hold an inside line or swing wide with a power slide. Power was very good with nice roll-on and enough on tap to keep close to a 525. Brakes are awesome. Really a race ready bike straight out of the crate!!
Nicely said. ajt. ten small pieces make it a 6spd :wink:
