[QUOTE="snaggleXR4, post: 220314, member: 24395"] Hey, My best friend always had 2-stroke MX bikes. When I got my XR400 this last summer, I let him take if for a spin. Within a month, he went and bought an XR400 for himself. He's small, 5'8" 150lbs., and struggled with the height and weight at first. He also struggled with the torque, comp. braking and difference in gearing ratios between the XR and his CR. After his third ride on the XR he did pretty good. The next ride he pulled out the CR. The CR has never been ridden since. If you are good on bikes, like I know you are, you will warm to it quickly. After you learn not to try to fling, and flick you don't notice the weight as much. Throttle control is imperative to control the comp. braking, pulling in the clutch is an easy fix, until you learn when to let off the throttle and use the engine and the brakes together. You will learn in no time, have faith. By the way, those blue things aren't "regular" thumpers. They are 2-stroke wanna-be's. So if you are going to get one of those, you'd be better to stick with your 2-stroke. Not really, well, yes really, I just bleed RED. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
