Message: [QUOTE="JTT, post: 222298, member: 19620"] I first rode one back in the 80's (an old Yamaha TY), and not again until this spring. I have wanted one for awhile, so I just bought one (2000 Sherco). Wayneg is right, they do feel a little odd at first, but not hard to get used to. I liken them more to motorized mountainbikes than "normal" dirtbikes. Tiny and very light...and yes, it does hurt to fall off, as I found out (typing this with a broken finger) :mad: . They are great fun though, and will likely be even better once I figure out how to ride the beast. YZeater, modern ones are liquid cooled, reed valved and quite high tech really. Very light weight (like 157lbs). Suspension is very fast (rebound and compression). Brakes are 2 or 4 piston, but with tiny rotors...doesn't take much to stop. Hydraulic clutch....awe...so, so nice. All controls are very light to touch. Tires are the stickiest things will will likely ever see!!! [/QUOTE]
