    Yeah there are very few road legal 2 stroke Yamaha dirt bikes still in decent condition over here now days. Makes me feel like I'm riding a 50 year old Indian sometimes.

    I helped sweep ride for a junior state enduro championship about a month or so ago. Was at least able to keep up with the older pros (16 years or so I think ). I think a 20 year old bike doing that is a reasonable success. Yeah yeah I beet some kids in a race... but they're fast kids...
    The WR is starting to turn a few heads and always plenty of pointed fingers and questions. Mainly from guys in their mid 40s who had these bikes new in their 20s.
