Rode new YZ426 today... WOW!!!!!!!!!

One thing to say. POWER.
VERY un-4 stroke like. Instant throttle response. Power hit like a big 2 stroke, and that thing just screams. If reved in neutral, it would rev from idle to rev-limit in probably half of a second.
Suspention was rock hard, straight factory untuned, and not broken in. The seat was even more rock hard, and my butt was sore after a 5-7 minute ride. <literally>
All in all, power power power. Suspention needed tuning and loosening up.
Awsome bike though.

i have a ktmsx125 and stock vs stock ktmsx125 vs hondacr250r mine actually has 1 horsepower! ... weird huh? a 125 has more horepower than a 250. im used to my 125, but i want a blaster or a 400ex LOL... iv wasted 400ex's and 250's and r's lt's just about everything. even a couple 6 cylender cars. dirtbikes feel scarier because the fact of only having two wheels. lots more fun tho.

Reasons why I like quads better then dirtbikes. These can be taken both good and bad though.
Dirtbikes have...
1. Light front end
2. POWER
3. Spinning rear tire all the time
4. Did I mention all the power?
Bikes are great in the woods but I'd rather jump a quad. More challenging if you ask me. I'm 170lbs and I rode my friends KX500. It scares the $hit out of you when the front end pops up in 5th gear. I don't care what anybody says the CR500 and the KX500 are a real mans bike. Those things are unreal.
