Yeah, I don't know. 90 pounds. More expensive in parts/maintenance. Really wide set handlebars. More trail maintenance due to them being where they probably shouldn't...

Why not just get one of these then?http://powersports.honda.com/trail/2017/crf450x.aspx

I'm with the "I don't get it" crowd.  It's over-complicating a great design; adding weight,parts, and cost while offering little to no return in real performance other than "it looks cool." (btw, I don't even think it does ><)  Then again, I'm also one who rolls his eyes every time he sees a jacked up pickup and thinks, "what a waste of a good truck, it can't do anything useful anymore."  I'm admittedly boring.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
