    How sweet?

    Man how about those new yzf's, looks like it could be the ticket for the cross country riders, no more vulnarable tin foil pipe pokin out waiting to be flattened, high air box for deep water, efi cos its cool, makes me wonder why its taken this long to get this design. homy want one.

    Yep it would be a toss up between the new YZF, KTM 350SXF and the 310 Husaberg.

    The airbox could very easily be more susceptible to water I reckon.

    Supposed to handle like an absolute dream though.

    So many good options for CC, Whib's, Knighter & Chop all did good on the KX450F. Mitchell's had a Husaberg 450 & reckoned it cornered like it was on rails & then there is the untested, but Everts designed KTM 350 SX-F.

    I'd been dreaming 350, though after last nights effort ( a solid 8/10 for bike departure style ) not sure I need any more power .

    So after all that, if I had to buy a new bike tomorrow I'd go KX250F, it's midrange is just to nice.

    those guys will go fast on just about anything, bar the BMW, air box looks like it sits nice and high, 350 sounds like it could be the magic size though, the pipe though, no more worry about it, dunno bout you but whenever i take a soil sample thats whats goin through my head, SAVE THE PIPE MAN.

    i would think the airbox would be a pain for quick air filter changes,

    i wish the japense would make a 310-350 size bike, i think they would be ideal for cross country and mx racing

    Not to sure on the air box, I guess the bolts make it a pain, but I have to take the seat off my Husky ( one of the way cool D latches that is really quick mind you ) & from there with the battery in place, it's hardly roomy. My guess is the YZF is not to much worse.

    I hope the 350SX-F delivers on the track & the japs will take the 350 motors out of the lab & onto the track quick, question is then, how long before the 250cc 4/ class becomes the 225cc 4/ or 200cc 4/ ?? ( or is that just stirring ).

    will probably happen, things seem to be evolving in the last few years, very interesting.

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
