I absolutely love this bike!! The Power, the gearing, the nimbleness, it is all amazing. First change I made was to switch out the crappy rear tire the bike comes with and replace it with a Michelin S12, added bark busters and rode! Thought the gearing might be a tad high, as it usually is for our BC tight snotty stuff, however after 250km over the 3 1/2 days of single track I loved the bike more and more stock, although i will try a 51 up 2 teeth as it will bring third gear into play for me! My last favorite bike was a ktm xcf250 2011, awesome bike, and last year I switched to a beta 350 - although that bike has smooth amazing power and is easy to ride I found it way too heavy compared to my ktm, I am 140 pounds and 5'5 so it was a handful, however it was a fun bike due to the handling of the beta, this 2 stroke is a different animal and I wont go back to a 4 strok ever again after having 3 yamaha 250F, 2 ktm's and 1 beta 350, never again, the power on the bikes is huge, the electric start is flawless, steering is light and easy, changing directions is quick, and I was tooting the horn and yahooing all weekend!! If you can get on one of these bikes do it!
