Ok here is what I think of my new bike.

First thing you notice when you start the bike is it hits sooo hard. 12.9:1 compression ratio sounds nice out the pipes. It is a lot harder to turn over than a 2 stroke but its worth it. When I first got on it I expected it to be just a hair stouter than my last cr 125. Psssshhhh this thing would kill my old 125. The power is every where and seems to cut down on shifting a lot. It pulls and pulls and doesn't ever want to stop. The power is really smooth but if you grab a hand full it gets nasty in a hurry! I don't know exactly how much hp it has but its more than I could use a lot of the time. The torque is through the roof and makes coming out of slow corners easier. Transmission is silky smooth and very positive feeling when up shifting and down shifting. Clutch is nice and easy to work. Suspension feels very nice even though I have not set it up to my specs. I havn't taken it off any "sweet jumps" yet but thats coming soon when I get my full gear. The most impressive thing I find is when you ride it, it doesn't feel like you are riding a small bike. It sounds big and makes power like a big bike but is lighter. Overall it is an awesome feeling bike and I couldn't ask for more.

Wait until you get the suspension set up. You'll love it. Pro Privateer did a great job on my YZ250F. A revalve and the right springs will make it feel like a whole new bike.

You might try calling Factory Connection and asking them what a good starting point for your clickers is. They'll also tell you if your stock spring rate is right for you.

I cannot imagine how much power one of those have. I cannot hook this bad mofo up much less an extra 15 more hp or whatever its got.
