No way the Ohlins straight from the factory, are going to feel as good as PEP shocks setup for your weight/riding style. I want to get Ohlins to rebuild mine and add the piggybacks this winter. For my level of riding/racing, I think I will be fine. I don't plan on jumping anything over 40 feet, and I'm mostly going to be sticking to Cross Country racing.

Will this setup be comparable to PEP shocks for an A/Pro level rider? Prob. not. But I have a hard time forking out $1,550 plus, for front and rear shocks. If I was more serious about racing and was looking to go pro, then I'd do it. But I'm just a "Weekend Warrior" that likes to go ride.

I understand that the PEPS are much better, probably, but why buy the Moto to do that? It would have been alot cheaper to get a Speed or Cannibal and do the mods, even though you need extended Arms and axle. Oh well, to each his own.

ltracerx - man, you would just have to see the moto to truely understand. That thing is SWEEEEEEET... From that GP control mounted on those Tag bars right down to the wave brake rotors. The stock Holeshot MX's mounted on beadlocks are awesome, and like I said before, the tribal art flame #plates look very cool [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] . You could just buy a speed and add all that stuff to it later, but buying all the parts the moto has (plus shipping and tax) will run you up more than what that moto cost (not counting all those trick carbon fiber extras that he bought).

sorry guys I feel like an idiot, I meant to ask how much it is worth, I kind of forgot to type that part. I was thinking about $6000 maybe. Yes it has the front end recall fixed.

Depends on where you live. Yeah, it's worth $6,000, but people are very cautious with their money now. Your going to have to find the right buyer to spend that much on a used quad. Someone that knows what they're getting. I'd take it to races and put it in every available retail flyer you can.
