Those bikes will do more than I will . Those videos could have saved me $3,500.00 if I would have viewed them before Saturday!
They are not foofoo bikes just not full race bikes like we are used to riding but in reality probably don't need for most of the trail riding we do. Thats the point. Low bikes instill a ton of confidence in the gnar.
After watching the above vids I am going to go for a look / test ride on a AJP ! Looks the ideal tool for playing about in my little play area and popping to the shops here in the UK. I now know why the guy I meet riding one (stolen from his misses) made it through a rather tough ride with comparative ease. Im impressed
yes but we are not getting full extreme models here right now. Most of it is bling anyway. Also from the people I have spoke to the Sachs forks are awesome and I think I'd rather have those (with adjustable preload) than the Zokes. Doma exhaust is nice but these things add up fast and push the price point.
If it's priced like a wr250r then it's blowing the WR out of the water. I really love how nothing on these bikes screams "budget bike". They've far exceeded what I expect from that price point.
Man, it's a tough call, I want that light weight PR4, but I don't know if I can ride an air cooled bike down here. I'm far too slow, and it's far too hot.
PR5 is 30 lbs heavier. I'm looking for a 220ish pound bike. I already have the TE 511, so if I buy another bike, it's going to be a light weight woods machine.
From those I have spoke to that have ridden them they all say all models feel very light when riding due to the shorter, lower stature and the gas tank location.
I may not be a good person to be giving advise but, I like the KISS PR4 idea myself. This coming from a guy that just spent 3K more on a Pumpkin . Air/oil cooled, low seat, e-start, kick start, 2 year parts warranty, all good simple to like stuff. Can't wait for ride reports.
