Today at the track I was running my CR250R and having some fits in between the over watering, the clutch going out and the mushy front brake. I felt like I was still getting around the track ok, just a lot more effort than normal.
My brother offers to trade off for a little bit. I took his brand new CRF450X out for a spin thinking that it was going to feel a bit heavy compared to my bike out there. I figured I would do a couple uncomfortable laps and then trade back. After the first lap, I just got faster and faster. I was hauling butt and clearing jumps easy. This stinkin bike still had the stock pipe and insert in it! After about 20 laps I wasnt even that tired compared to my CR. I couldnt help but laugh in my helmet when I would think about having a headlight beaming around the track and a blinking LED brake light everytime I used it.
Verdict- I knew this bike was a blast on trails, but I couldnt believe how I could rail it on the track. Im definately going to be looking for one of these in the near future.
