Have you test rode a newer gen Honda before? I just wanted to ask , because the difference between the CRF and YZF as far as " basically everything "....is quite a bit different. I do hope you love it and have a blast though!

I have not rode a newer Honda at all. I have rode a 17 and 18 husky and ktm and do like them but didn’t exactly like the harshness in my wrists from the air forks. I did adapt to riding the husky and liked it by the end of the day. I was just looking for a change but still wanted to stick with spring forks. so we will see how it goes but I am pretty positive I should be able to get used to it

It’s funny how many bike dealerships are around and everyone drives hours to go to Larson’s. That alone says how much better they are then everyone else!

I got out on the bike today and I still can’t wipe the smile off my face. Plenty of power, suspension worked super well, cornered quite a bit better then my previous bike 15 yz450f. I instantly felt right at home on this thing and I am Super happy with the purchase!

You'll be fine. I've done the same thing. I've switched from numerous 450's to 125 and 250 2 strokes , and switching back and forth. Never hurts to try new bikes , and keeps it interesting.
