[QUOTE="Imho, post: 741360, member: 28822"] Well, I had my first race day on the CRF at a club event last Sunday. What do I think? It's all too easy! Now, I'm not saying I won all the races or anything like that but this bike has made the races so much easier for me that I feel I could do twice as many laps and still feel OK. It's so light to move around and I have now noticed a significant power difference, particularly low-mid out of corners. The power is smooth and it hooks up really well so I can also get it to the ground. My suspension doesn't bottom anymore which gives me greater confidence to tackle (and make) the jumps and I get less head-shake over sharp edged bumps when travelling fast and cornering. On the down-side, I was taken out in the veterans race. Cut off, front wheel hits back wheel followed by a high-sided and heavy landing and a fair bit of pain. Shoulder, hip and thumb swollen and bruised. About the only thing I can report about the bike is that it's in perfect working order, no bent bars and only minor scratches on the front guard. Next up is a state round so I am going to have to change my mind-set to put more effort in earlier as I was way too fresh at the end of the club races. I hope I'm better by then though. My hip and shoulder are slowly getting better but my thumb is still as bad as the day it happened. I'm not dying so I guess I have no reason to see a doctor. :laugh: [/QUOTE]
