why don't we post our opinions here on test rides we've had on rival machinery and be honest about it as well....
i rode three machines on saturday:
WR250 with leccy boot!
medium 'throwability', very driveable and usable at low revs with good power. everything was nice really, low seat height. started easily, no glitches.
beta 250
gutless, but a bit of top end. high seat, suspension absorbed big hits but poor LS. bike is an '06. brakes good.
honda something or other 230
great bike, great for novice on slopes, not the first one you ego will let you jump on but you KNOW your going to reach the top of the gulley with this bike! funny thing is: go through a stream and expect little vision for a minute as the kettle doesn't just boil - it explodes!
WHY?
