Nice looking bike. welcome to the blue sideThanks for the welcome Puddles, as I stated elsewhere I wasnt buying a brand but a bike that suited my needs and the Yamaha seems to tick all the boxes. That said I would have rather walked then ride a KTM :laugh:

All they did was ride them through water and open trails? Everytime the trail tightened or got hard they fell off or carried the bike up. I’m sure people do ride them hard but that video wasn’t a great example!
Nice bike TB, it looks tidy. I like the color too. Welcome to the Yamaha ownership club

I’ve seen hard core enduro bikes man handled over lesser territory than that (even KTM’s). So if where they took them big bikes does not impress you than maybe you should enter the next Erzberg, you’d be a shoe in for the win.
June 2, 2010 at 9:54 am #180816I can carry any bike you like over challenging terrain, I’ll be impressed when I see them riding it as opposed to carrying it.
I’ve seen riders on enduro bikes fail to ride terrain other riders could ride through on an R1, but that doesn’t make the R1 a great offroad bike.
I’ve also seen LC4Skin on this site actually ride his KTM 640 over terrain harder than that. Maybe he should enter Erzberg?
