Proof that the only thing more dangerous than Kick Too Much is one with a trail bike engine!

I would say don't sell it right away, cause you may feel differently in a couple of months, and that's a pretty nice bike, it sounds. You may want to get something smaller or just different. Just sayin. Hope you get well soon.

Best advice I've ever read on Vital MX.

Never send an e mail when you're angry and never EVER sell your MX bike when you're injured..............

Bummer you got hurt, Why the decision to sell it ?

They look like cool bikes, I still don't think at a top Pro level they are as good as the Honda or Kawasaki but for most people an excellent choice especially with the E-start

Ditto. Never go to the grocery store when you're hungry, never go to the strip joint when you're horny and never sell your bike when you're hurt.

Thanks Burn. You're right. Appreciate the advice. It's nice to be encouraged by by brethren here on vital.

I plan on getting back riding at the end of this year. I have quite a few other bikes to ride when I come back.

I'm thinkin' I will get a 2013 model when they are available in the fall.

See you at the races.

I loved this bike. I am a top 3 B rider and it was the first 450 I have ever owned. I rode a lot of 450's and this was my favorite.

It was AMAZINGLY easy to ride. Just power from top to bottom with no nasty hit. Alessi roe one to fastest qualifying time at hangtown last year.

E-Start.... Fagetta bout it!

LOL... Actually there was a thread yesterday about some hillbilly unloading his bike out of the back of a truck. I am surprised they didn't break a leg doing it. It was pretty funny.

LOL... I apologize for being a smart ass earlier but you can't come in here and tell us Vitards what not to say and not expect to get some sh-t! I wish i was ready to purchase because I really think that would be a fantastic bike for me up hear in the sandy mitten. But unfortunately I am not in a buying position right at the moment Sad Good luck man, I am sure you will be back out tearing it up in no time!

LOL. Help this guy out. I promised him If I sell my 450 first he can have my 144. I'm guessing he wants me to sell the 450. I'll call ya when it sells Troy.
