I think if you all spent a whole week of every day riding my 250X and got used to it...(not having rode anything faster than that your whole life). And went and bought a brand new 400EX bone stock.. and pinned the throttle and ran it thru all 5 gears.. you'd crap your pants.. my point is just have fun! i know my group doesn't ever pick at who rides what.. we're just always havin fun.. well i eat dust most of the time but hey.. i'll have my "underpowered" 400EX in no time.
