yeh bud ycf is from france there pretty good bikes by the looks of things and im pretty sure they compete in the minimoto in vegas aswell no offence to braaap but id like to see them use an Australian rider instead of blose imo they should ask one of the mott brothers or like brett Metcalfe

I didn't say they don't perform well I just think on a stage such as minimoto it would be good for us as Australian's to have big names in the sport of moto to ride for braaap such as big name aussies
Mate the only people that would ride mini moto are guys that have retired from the top tier of big bikes. They get who they can. None of the top guys would want to do it for risk of injury themselves.
Only VIC titles I know of is VCM and ain't seen them there before. lol
Just teasing boys I can't talk but then I suck at this dirtcycle thing. haha

Brad is Australian and he came 4th
that was taken the wrong way i meant competed in events here in vic
Yeah sent a couple of emails to Trevor Pope Motorcycles in the U.K, they got the YCF Factory F 150 SP1 for $2450 Aus. Postage couldn't be more than couple hundred dollars, right! Anyways haven't heard anything back, what you reckon? Anyone brought a bike overseas? What was your experience? Rather pay $2450 compared to what Braap charges!

You should try to import that model as it isn't sold here. That's the new crf head type yx by the looks of it. By the time you get it here, pay duties and taxes you could have got a factory 190. Or do what Zwebx suggested, then you will be at least on the track this month instead of waiting maybe 3 months for an import. Although dunno where you would get an FDX 190 for 1 k! Plus carby, plus pipe, plus filter, plus cable, probably already around 2 grand plus purchase price of a long wheelbase LXR. Better off getting a bike for a grand and just ride it.
Fair enough! $1000 for shipping from the U.K that blows that thought out the water! The cost of trying to be different! Well going to have to settle with a LXR Pitster Pro. Thanks boys for your thoughts cheers

Bbr's ,Fast 50s, sano , five o , sik 50s and billetware don't run linkage and they all are good set ups , don't get to worked up about having linkage
Dungey won the AMA outdoors without linkage !
We are riding kids bikes , keep it simple and fun

In a big bore midsize you want linkage. No question about it. The difference is very noticeable for your average rider.
In a 50 it wouldn't matter as much.
Why do you think KTM run linkage now? It's a much better efficient way of getting power to the ground.
If it was my decision to buy a bike which costs almost double a bike that doesn't have linkage then it's pretty simple decision.
