I'd expect that from a Honda. They are tuned down for that. Good information though.
You can expect that from a Yamaha too.
You won't be all beat to hell on a newer one. They have independent front and rear suspension and power steering. You might think you don't need power steering, but if you're wore out from 100 miles of trail riding...you do need it. It will change the way you think about wheelers.
