Eighth of a ton, who the hell is dumb enough to embrace the idea of an overweight pig like that. And to top it off, they want $8090.00 for it! I thought we were supposed to be moving forward here? Damn, the mfgs. of modern motocross bikes must really take us for a bunch of really stupid idiots. Really really stupid. Somebody please come on here and try to explain to everyone that in all actuality it's ONLY nine pounds heavier than last years bike.......LOL...LMFAO! I always thought motocrossers had a little common sense about themselves and took a little pride in their rides. Obviously the mfgs. think differently than I do. Looks like KTM is the only large mfg. left that still has a clue what MX is all about. And for that, I salute you Mr. Lightweight Dirt Bike Maker!
The part you’re missing is that in the last few years, marketing has become so advanced that it overcame physics and therefore we don’t need light bikes anymore.
Man, get your head screwed on straight!
It’s like comparing a Ferrari and an Escalade. They are both fast, but most don’t have the skill to race the Ferrari to its potential so to save face, they buy the Escalade with all the latest ‘features’. It makes for better bench racing and looks “Pimp” in the pits with all the bling you can buy for it.

Maybe this sport needs to shrink so we can cut out some of the fat - those who are not in it for the right reasons or just to look cool. I dont want bench racers buying heavy feature filled bikes and sending that message to bike makers and changing what type of bike I have to race. If this sport loses all the people who are not in it for performance, maybe we can get them to make real bikes again.
BRAAAP!
For the record, my CR500AF weighs 225 dry on a real scale - one that shows the correct weight when I put stacks of barbells on it.
Can't believe I posted on the dumbest damn thread on this site !!!
I just sank to a new low
actually if this guy keeps going I see no reason for a lawsuit against newmann from YAM
IF the weight is of concern ehy don't you just loose 10 pounds from your melon head this will bring the centre of gravity lower and make the bike handle even better

Did you happen to watch the bike go around the US Open track? and see how good the bike corners? It's the new 450 and the future of motocross.
Even in the Vital video test, you can see how good the bike is.
Why would you slam the bike before your able to ride it NEWMANN? I see you think your someone that know, but I assure you that you don't know. You should be a shammed of yourself for trying to take credit away from the best motorcycle in 2010.
Don't let the melon head thing concern you....... I went with the genuine Yamaha Racing penis enlargement kit to drop my center of gravity a bit to offset my large melon......
My god, are we really this dumb?
My 06 yz450, weighed less, yet felt heavy, what am I missing?
Just quitely, the handling on my 250SX feels pretty good....
With all this mass centralization, the big four will be demanding the minimum weight limit be increased from 216. They already tried that not long after the 450's came on the scene didn't they?
Just saying.
All I've seen so far about this bike is hype. There has to be cons to it. I'll wait and see, thank you very much.
