I was checking out a gas gas at my local dealer. How does everyone feel on these bikes. Do they compete at all w/ an R.

I think someone on this forum has one, but i dont remember his user name. I think his only complaint was stiff steering and weird feeling handle bars but other than that it was great.

A buddy of mine got one. I have to say it is just plain awsome! :D It does steer stiff, it wants to go straight. I don't know if an adjustment can fix that or not. This thing hauls *****! Against built R's, I don't know. I am sure that some could, but against a stock one. NO WAY! If I did not do the motor in mine I would trade.
It is real easy to ride. It is not like a shee, it is real smooth. I guess that is the powervalve at work. I like the fit and finish of the hole thing. It is not choppy like the Pedator. I would like to ride the 450 coming out. It is suppose to be fuel injected. :huh

The guy on this board that owns one is lt250r. It is at our shop right now! I rode it around our field last night and it was very impressive!!! The motor pulls hard across the powerband from bottom to top! The suspension needs a little help tho, this is why we have it. The front shocks seemed way too stiff (probally because he has -2" arms) and the rear shock was too soft. We are converting them over to Elka SSD's and adding more travel to the rear shock.
Gas Gas will have their 450 EFI 4-stroke at the dealer show in Indy this weekend, I will get pics for you guys.
