It would probably look a lot better with some decent decals...

Take a close look at a KX frame. Does it look familiar now?

Hopfully that's the sponsors colors.

Its about freakin time, I hope the WR's get this frame for '06 too. The pipe's on those YZF's look an awful lot like the ones on the WR's!! Interesting. I hope the production versions are left bare like the 2-smoke YZs

Hmmm..I think i'll stick to my '426.

Aluminums not as strong as steel, not even close. They make up for its low strength by making it thicker which makes it stiff. Steel frames have a nice flex to them and feel much better on the trail IMO.

The couple pounds ya save by switching to aluminum isnt worth it to me, I just dont care for the way the aluminum framed bikes feel.

i was trying too say that the alumnium frame are just as strong as steele frames not that alumnium is stronger then steele

[Chevy_Cowboy]

aluminums only just as strong as steel when its about 4 times thicker than the steel your comparing it to, so no, its not as strong.

[jjgixxer]

hmm maybe thats why the frames are thicker and wider then right ??
