[QUOTE="mj4trax, post: 1380593, member: 116336"] I still like my quads. It's really two different worlds of riding. The mechanics are night and day. On the quad, large, exaggerated movements are necessary to make it handle, and there is a much larger path on the ground that you need to watch out for. Also, my skill level on the quad is much higher than it is on the bike . ... I can still get down most 50" trails quicker on my quad than I can on the bike, although that gap lessens as the trails get narrower and narrower and as I gain experience on the bike. On the bike, everything seems so much more dependant on momentum. .. and it's small, quick movements that flick the thing around so fast. The suspension on the bike continually amazes me. ... especially through the Michigan trail whoops . . I've made mistakes that would have thrown me over the bars on the quad and the RMjust completely soaks it up. .. doesn't even kick back. .. just smooth like butter. So far I've really been liking my RM. I've compared it to my buddy's CR and we owned a YZ for a trip. .. in comparison, for the tight stuff, I really like how "fast" the handling is on the RM. Biggest complaint is that for really tight stuff, 1st gear is too high (I'm planning to run a larger rear sprocket for my next one though) The YZ was low slung and really stable, but it suffered for me in the tight stuff. The CR was somewhere in between . .. but it just felt sluggish in comparison. [/QUOTE]
