Yeah, but do you think that not having reverse would be a hender your riding at all.....I will be doing more riding in the woods....and at parks in Ohio and West Virginia....what are the opinions about the reverse deal...Is it that important?

I am 6 ft tall and about 160 lbs. So givin my weight and height....would a 400 or 300 suit me better. I respect my bike now....but I also have the ***** to do some daring things...I like to test my skills and abilities, but don't want to have to much power when im trail riding or climing sum hills ( not that challenging) that i will flip it or whatever....Like i said before ive never had a sport bike before, but have heard the horror stories of the 2 strokes, and how they are higher maintenance and things go wrong with them easier than a four stroke...and i don't think i really want those problems...im not a mechanic
