A handful of people need to eat a bottle of prozac before hopping on here... so there panties don't get twisted so fast. Your still cool in my book meat.... Oh ya.. need my smilies so everybody knows i'm not being pissy..

I'm a hair on the tall side and the 450r feels better to me... but it's a dog compared to the yfz. I personally don't like the way any of them feel stock... with a +1stem and cr-hi bends the yfz is a helluva mo betta. Basically... I just don't like stock suspension... im spoiled.... everybike I ride stock feelsl like it has 2x4's for shocks and they just crumble on a hard landing. If your intrested in buying an new ride and your current one has aftermarket anything... stop riding for about a month or so and then test ride...Just my .02.

z400 has nice ergos., nice suspension, slow and not as wheelie happy as the craptor.... craptor is faster, narrower, harder to ride, feelsl like a sawhorse on wheels.... I vote for the zuk.

They can charge that much b/c they know people will pay it... same reason cd's are 18$ and why fuckin 30 packs of beer are up to 25$ now. The arms that i'm running (jrd) work with custom axis... just like elka/roll setup. They're ment for each other... my fuckin front end cost a hair under 3000$.

The 'shee only outweighs the EX by about 10lbs.. but it's all in the geometry of the bike. It's also what people are more comfortable on too... I ride with a guy that does freestyle on a ds650 .

No go on the vacation switch... my fuckin boss is already off that week . I'll be there the 3rd weekend of october.. prolly with the clark boys and scott if his owner will let him come out an play .
Mike
I had a v551... actually 4 of them... everyone of them crapped out on me... plus the way the charger plugs in sucks if you step on the charger it's fucked. Guess you got a good one .

I've had the motorola razr for about a month now.. so far it's been great. Seems like 3 weeks is the breaking point(literally) when the new wears off everything goes to shit. This phone has suprised me though...
Mike
Same time as last year (3rd weekend of october) I've already applied for vacation. I'll be there by myself if I have to. ...The crf is craving air... once my ankle heals that is .
Mike
It's gonna take more than just a deep pocket to make a 'shee competitive on a track.... You have to be a damn good rider if you ever plan on making it outa the amateur B class. Running a 380lb machine with the geometry of a M1 tank against the new 450's isn't a easy task by no means...
