Who it's for

This bike is for experienced motocross racers and riders who spend their time on closed-course tracks. Its 450 cc engine, 37.5 in seat height and race-focused suspension suit competitive practice and racing more than casual trail riding. The motocross-only setup and lack of US street legality make it unsuitable for riders who need a road-legal bike or want one machine for pavement and off-road use.
