I tried one on my raptor and couldnt stand it.... I have always been a motorcycle rider, and think twist throttles should stay on bikes. To me it seemed like if I was making a hard left and went off ballance I would hit the throttle harder with the twist throttle... it was also harder to manage over whoops... Its just my opinion though.

I have one on my 3wheeler and I will put one on my 250r eventually.

i had one on my 250r, it was good for mx, but when i was in the woods, it made it alot harder to ride... if i hit a big bump, it would jar my wrist, causing my throttle to blip wide open

and that wasnt fun

if your not used to it, yes that happens alot

but ive had a motion pro cr twist on every quad ive had, along with my uncles, cousins, and my dad. my dad used to ride dirtbikes and he got us all started on the twist. ill never ride a thumb again.

I used one on my 200x for two days, the first time was at a mx track that pretty lame(more like a tt track with 4 jumps), and the second time was a tight, small, rough mx track in the woods(I ride there all the time). The first time I didn't mind it(actaully kinda liked it), but the second time, I found it hard to control and almost made me crash twice. I came off after that. I'd proabably preffer one on a tt track, but never on a mx track or trails.

well i bought my 426ex used and it had one on....it took me 1 saturday of hard riding to get used to it, then next day i put one on my raptor....ill never go back to thumb again. the first day or so you will hate it and it might even make you almost crash....but im telling you, stick it out and stay with it and you will love it in about a week or two.

in my oppinion it feels alot more racier(f thats a word) it feels more race oriented to me...i love it

i agree with you 100% man... I rode for the first time yesterday with it and it almost made me crash a couple of times.. but i kept on practicing and today was better.. im finnaly gettin the hang of it. it feeles really good when u can ride hard for 45+min and not get sore in your hand..
