KX250 at 12 :o haha wow! that thing must've pulled your arms off! :)
Thats the way with motox... yes its a money game in the modern era but i still see people on the start line with bikes form the 80s etc... they hold their own and prove its all about the rider!
Still long for the old days tho.. i guess we all do eh ;)
I bet they do when they're taken care of and maintained properly, My old kx was pretty bagged out lol but yeah I had to be ready and have my weight in the right spot. At 6'1 and around 150 pds even now bikes ride like they don't even notice I'm on , My last street bike was a Suzuki SV1000S hehe 325km/hr and still had almost 5000 rpm left ;) (at 5am in the summer time on what felt like an abandoned highway... so as safe as possible) I'll own street bikes/dual sports and XC mountain bikes again but I'm done with the crazy stuff for sure (Not me but the MT I used to ride)
