[QUOTE="Thump, post: 708934, member: 1034"] It is light... really light. By comparision to my YZ250F it feels like a minibike. Brakes are fantastic. Corners like it is on rails adn it looks cool as Hell. The feel of the bike. It has a much better seat than my CRF450, it is harder, which is good IMO. I felt slightly cramped on the bike. At 6'1" 220lbs I think it could use a tall seat, some clamps to move the bars forward and possibly some low pegs, the bike just felt a little small to me. suspension was stiff even for me but it needs to be broken in... Power was the most suprising. It has a very soft low end where the YZ250F has a stronger pull off bottom. But once you hit about 3500 RPM it is a rocket. It has almost a 2 stroke type hit and when you are in the sweet spot (which seemed to be from 3500- to the Rev limiter) it is responsive, almost twitchy. On a long loamy WFO track the CRF250 was a bit under powered, as is my YZ250F, no real suprise. Wide, deep whoops were a challenge to keep the front up through them. And there is considerably more compression braking than either my CRF450 or my YZ250F, which I like but you have to stay on the gas or you stop. Overall, the bike is incredible but more suited to not so loamy conditions (the track had literally about 8-10 inches of loam EVERYWHERE) A few minor ergo changes and get soem more power out of the lowend and this bike will rock! YZ250F is for sale. :aj: [/QUOTE]
