Default How about the new GasGas 450 4-stroke??

i went to the nearest dealer to me yesterday & test rode a gas gas 450 4-stroke yesterday. the one i tested had the older front suspension design and i concur with the finding of the mags in that it felt like it had a damper on it at full hard, requiring some effort in the steering, but otherwise the machine felt awesome. the other problem areas i noticed were- the seat/tank area feels wide & tall(but not extreme), the bar bend isn't right for me, stator cover P-coat was starting to bubble & flake, & plastics didn't have the best fit & finish. but... i love the clutch, shifting is smooth as glass(nuetral was tough to find when it was running), it feels very stable, and power delivery was very smooth. i dig the gadgets on the dashboard!! (run time meter, hazard flasher button- if i add signals, clock & ??) another cool fact is that it has both electric start & kick start!
the dealer & salespersons were trying thier best to convince us the thumper is faster than the 2-stroke on the track(which it may very well be in the hands of a pro), another prospective buyer was there too... he's worried about it b/c this is thier 1st quad effort & doesn't want to get stuck with a dud. they were trying thier best to get us to put cash down, but i'm not ready to do that just yet... got too much stuff to sell first.
overall i'm impressed.
i've decided i'm going to get one when i'm ready, but- my debate is 2-stroke vs. 4-stroke...
