I Purchesed this bike close to 6 months ago from a local Yamaha dealer,
the bike was in very good condition for its age, with barely any scratches and even had the orignal tyres on it it was a bargin at just shy of $6000

the bike i find is much nice to ride compaired to my old bike which was a 2 stroke 250, the power seems more applieable and just genrally nicer on the rocky trails around my area

not a yammie fan?? i assume
yer 250s are nice, seem to have enough power and they arnt to heavy
anything bigger and i assume you would have way to much traction probs but they would be nice for long enduro rides

yer coming off aint the best, by im not botherd alot.
my thoughts are atleast im still walking

Get a road bike! That way you not only need to worry about broken bones, but getting road rash, cars hitting you, pulling out in front of you, running red lights and so on. It's fun


Nice bike by the way
