How many of you ride them regularly for a do it all machine and don't feel like it is holding you back at the track?
It seems I have read testers that have actually preferred them over the dedicated MX models. I think many of us prefer them given a choice.
In most cases, we are talking about an 18" rear wheel, a bigger tank, and a wider gearbox, and softer suspension.
I know this is an MX forum, and we all want to hang out with the cool kids, and we already know kickstands aren't cool, but most of us are rather seasoned and have to pay for our own things, and can't afford multiple bikes. What say you?

There's no reason you won't be able to clear any jumps or smash berms just as hard. You'll just have to make sure you find the sweet spots on those landings, the woods suspension is a lot less forgiving on casing and going long.
I would NOT recommend the XC-Ws for much track riding though.
