Raced the Monkey Wrench two weekends ago, A loop, 72km of awesome cross country. Flowy loamy stuff thru the trees, rock ridges, ass-puckering downhills, wide open fire roads with de-activation ditches every 500 feet, such a huge variety of terrain. Gas stop at 52km in, wasn't on reserve yet, probably could have got 60-65km on the tank. Bike ran flawlessly, elevation was 4000-7000', temp around 18 celcius. Wasn't completely beat up tired or sore at the end, suspension is the biggest game changer for me.
Yamaha is a very cautious company, they don't make big changes........but.......everyone wishes they would make a production YZ300X, can you imagine that? I would jump all over it.
