Well since your asking....

I had a KXF250 for a couple of years and last week at The Sandpit i rode a mates 450 and loved it...........grabbed the bull by the horns and traded up to this.
Had a restless night wondering if i'd jumped the gun(only been riding 2 years).Well i worried for nothing....the power on this is really smooth,heaps of power but not intimidating if that makes sense,starts 2-3 kicks without fail,did a couple of Blue Trails and she tractors along nicely....ivé had a KDX200 and 2 KXF250's and riding today was the most fun ivé had at the Sandpit....the suspension is nice and plush and it seems to keep nice straight lines,as in it doesn't bugger off to where you don't want it to......geez i'm glad i don't work for a bike mag,no one would by a bike based on that hahaha......basically i loooove riding it,may even head back tomorrow

Stalled a couple of times but i think it was more my fault than the bikes....no more than my 250 tho(i'm not the best in the tight stuff)i'm sure a good rider would have it humming through the trees
