I just bought this bike 3 months ago and so far it has lived up to the hype. It can be ridden like a 4 stroke and just cruise along a given trail a crisp pace or you can ride it like a straight race bike and just let her rip! My only issue was that the front end is very jittery and if ridden at any decent pace you will have issues. I installed a steering dampner and that issue has gone away. Very forgiving suspension and tons of torque. If you´re coming off a a straight motorcross bike you may want to add some after market parts to boost the off the bottom hit as this bike just torques it´s way along ike a 4 stroke.
