I'll second that, noisy 4 poke high priced crap.
Tell you something else as well, probably not a single one of them 4 poke riders climb on that 2 stroke & do good, look like a bunch of rookies first time riding.

Oh i know... I let the 2013 ATVA 450A champion ride my 250r around for a bit and he looked like a fish out of water. It was almost comical, he didnt know when to shift or how to handle the power band. It was seriously aweful. And he is a talented rider.
I have my bike tuned with gearing in a way that i can almost ride it like a 4 stroke. I dont shift a whole heck of a lot. And with the super tall gearing and good tq im able to leave it in 3rd gear most of the race tracks. Its very nice to be able to slide into a corner and stay in 3rd gear.
The corner before the option lane im in 4th coming up to it and i click down to 3rd for the corner and stay in 3rd through all the jumps. Its pretty amazing to be able to stay in 3rd gear and power out from a corner that slow.
Its the same shifting stratgey i use on my can am.
