if you thinking about buying this bike theres 1 thing you need to do first write a will and leave you children the money for your funeral !!
i have ridden a friends machine which is fully standard and the bike is mental !!! your constantly fighting to keep the front end down whilst drawing the throttle back and ripping into powerband.this bike is bullet proof alongside the right maintenance frequent services should keep the engine clean and running smoothly. this bike will keep you on your tip toes be careful with the power through the bends this bike wont think twice about spitting you off or dropping the front end on a wet day.its perfect for you adrenaline rushes on a sunday daytime round the localtrack if you bored with the standard motocross bike this should be your next step !!!!
