My first big bike. I was 14. 

Excellent machine and reliable. We actually turned it into a supermoto. Probably had almost 200 hours on it. Finally blew up last week lol

I had the 08, which was very similar.  They were really good.

Loved my 2009, the last of that '07-09 lineage before EFI was added. Great bike, handled well, made good power, reliable too.

I had an ‘07 back when I was a teenager. Was a practice bike for the Rockstar/Yoshimura/WBR Suzuki team before I got it. Thing was a rocket ship compared to the clapped ‘02 YZ125 I came from, I was not ready for that bike at the time lol. Had to sell it to help finance my first car when I turned 16, looking back I should’ve kept the bike 😭
