[QUOTE="Lorin, post: 427777, member: 16153"] Yup, he did pass me and I was standing still. I was trying to get used to the new, smaller bike and thought that one of the best tests would be to try a "hot start" by laying the bike over in the corner, killing it, and starting back up again. Bike passed the test, and I hope to not have to repeat it too many times in the near future. Altough not as bad as Justin's Gas Gas, the bike has to make quite a bit of noise to really start moving with any speed. I had to re-aquaint myself with that little lever on the left side of the handlebars (I thought it was just used when you stopped). All in all, I think that the yz might do real well with a little more time and some additional aggression in my riding. I did manage to bottom out the front suspension twice, so I MUST have been going fast. As to Butch, the first hour consisted of him talking about how he doesnt really ride much, while the last few consisted of showing me that he rides pretty darn good (neither one of us were hitting the bigger jumps). It ended up being a good practice session that I hope will be repeated again. One last, shiny note: I was able to ride a 2003 yzf 450 for almost 8 whole minutes!!! That whole starting thing isnt a joke. I think that you might even be able to start it using your hand. The weight (or lack of it) was awesome. The new four strokes are getting really good. [/QUOTE]
