    Nice, I'd like to get one and put a thumb on it to see how good I am on them. I can't ride a twist for **** when it gets technical.

    I have about 50 hours of seat time on a bike now and still getting used to a twist throttle. I am positive I'd be faster and more comfortable with a thumb throttle. I still think about going back to a thumb throttle...but not back to a quad. The difference in maintenance costs is huge...and not having to upgrade a bike in the first place.

    that thumb throttle is pretty awesome!!!

    Im strange about thumb and twist throttles, on quads I HAVE TO have the twist, on dirtbikes I always wanted a thumb.

    Strange but true.

    looks good. for me bikes need a twist, and quads need a thumb.

    thanks guys i cant use a twist it puts me on my a.s.s every time. But yea i couldent afford to keep the quad up and quad parts are sooo expensive. A all stock one would have been fine for me but i got this one all aftermarket and fresh motor and 300 bucks for my race quad.
