Yak Posted October 23, 2005 Im not going to write a review, as they have already been done a week ago by several other TT members. Im just going to throw out some thoughts... Im coming off an '02 YZ426.... I cant believe how fun this bike is to ride. It feels so small under me compared to the 426. It feels like a play bike in comparison. The suspension is awesome and I have 2x the cornering confidence now. I miss the power of the big bore... I doesn't have near the roll on power that the 426 had. I guess thats to be expected. With this bike, you have to be in the right gear. You can't "power out" of a bad situation like you could with the 426. I think that Im actually faster on this bike. Its a good testament that speed is acheived with handling and suspension, not motor. I love this bike! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yzfmxer Posted October 23, 2005 He just a wittle guy! I bet you could haul ass on the ol' 426 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yak Posted October 23, 2005 Not really..... Its hard for a beginner rider my size to man handle a 426. That bike pretty much rode me instead of the other way around. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
