How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built purely for off-road motocross competition, this bike excels at jumps, berms, and rough terrain rather than any road-going use.
- Built for
- It has the raw, aggressive character typical of a late-80s two-stroke single, with a peaky power band and quick-revving, lightweight agility.
- Not ideal for
- This is not a bike for commuting, highway touring, or carrying a passenger, as it lacks any road-oriented comfort or touring equipment.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
