My husband convinced me to go practice at a track we race at through the year. I thought it was a little unusual for us to go there since it was 110 miles from our house. Naive me didn't put two and two together and the dealer, who is from that town, had my CRF250X out there for me. I was very intimidated by how tall it was, but once I got on it, it was great! The power was something I was concerned about coming off my TTR. It was so smooth and didn't have a "hit" but It sure can get going! We slid up the front forks and backed out the rear suspension 10 turns and it is almost perfect for me. (5'3 130lb w/gear Non-jumper, too old)
After 5 to 6 laps on the track I was just as fast over single jumps, faster through the straights/whoops, but I still haven't gotten used to the different center of gravity in turns just yet. I doubt it will take long though. I had to let several people try it and I think the Honda dealer will be selling a couple more!!!
I have been looking for a new bike for a year. We tried several different bikes but nothing seemed right. I'm glad I waited. This is the one for me! :yeehaw:
