Ok, I'm looking into a '86 YZ490 forsale near where I live. I love riding the KDX, but I'd like to find something that I can truly call mine. (The KDX doesn't actually belong to me, I've just had it for the last 18 months... its weird, but I won't complain) Anyways, the asking price seems fair, 1k or best offer, so I'm thinking $750 - $800. Anyways, my real question is... whats the good and bad sides to these models? I'm not the greatest rider in the world, but I can handle the KDX fine... but would a 490 be too much? Is the power controlable, or do they hit fast? Can I ride it through the woods without accidentally climbing a tree? Are there any particular problems with these bikes, things to look out for? I went over the basic stuff, it looks really well cared for. Good compression, good brakes, chain and sprokets look good. I'm going to get in touch with the owner to take a ride on it, but your opinions would be great. Thanks guys, rock on! :aj: (Always wanted to use that Icon...)
