Ya, the late model EC 450 Gas Gas bike is very good, so smooth with lite engine braking with its slipper clutch, and the fuel injection made it's response instant or roll on, you decide. The torque and power of that motor is wonderful. That with its super planted stable yet precise handling made it a great bike especially when the terrain opens up a bit and speeds climb.
Hopefully they are taking what they learned from that run and modeling their new prototype after that.
Loose some weight, quiet it down a bit, a improve reliability and those would sell out west, I'd contemplate one for desert racing and open HS.
