Actualy it only has 4.9 inches of travel in the back and 5.1 in the front.

I would rate it a 9.5 for it's class. It has alot of power for it's size. i of the best 2wd mudders I have ever seen.

Being the owner of 2 befor I got a 4x4 I to would have to give it a 9 for fun and ability. If it had better sealed/or disk front brakes it would have been a 10+

A 9 It is the best balanced 250 class out there, Never seen a "Utility" machine that can wheelie with it. Only thing I would really change if I could (and its no big deal) would be to put the brakes off the 300 EX on it. A really fun to ride little machine.

I would also rate it a 9.5 for its class. It is a suprizingly versital machine. It has a real thumper for a motor, and is a great trail bike as well as a jumper (small).

one of the best all around machines i have ridden.

I bought mine new in 6/97. The only thing I've done is change the oil and adjust the valves, ...and treat it like the neighbor's dog. Just my 10 points worth.
