This year started out good, but after a couple rides I realized that my 13 CRF450 had gotten too heavy and too powerful for my 56 year old Intermediate ass I was no longer able to manage the power, especially on the smaller tracks we ride (the only real "big" track here is Washougal, and it's not Glen Helen or Hangtown big).
After another 10 or so ride days I hinted around to the wife that I was"thinking" about a new bike. Of course, I'd already found an 18 FC350 that the dealer needed to clear out to make room for the 20s that are on their way. CRF sold in a week, and Saturday I picked this up. $6900 out the door.
Me and the boys spent the afternoon/evening in the garage, watching Hangtown, and going through our bikes, getting them ready for Sunday, Rode it today for the first time and I'm very happy with my choice. Light, stable, turns great, plenty of power, great brakes, high quality build and hardware.
I was smart enough to tell the dear wife that this is probably not my last bike. Hoping to ride/race until at least 70, but we will see.

Very happy with it in my 1 hour of riding yesterday. Magic button just makes me giggle, it handles so well, and it is so light. Suspension pretty good already and it still has to break in. Looking forward to a few years on this thing!

Awesome choice!
