Hey guys, I sold off my 200 few months ago to nurse my broken shoulder back into health... Now I'm thinking of buying a 400/450/530. On a competitive/weekend warrior level, will your laptimes get faster or slower compared to riding a 200? I'm talking about enduros like OTH or something like that...

Recovery from yr injuries is the 1st step,

Next is build-up yr fitness or get back in shape after mths being a coach potato.
Yes, a bigger thumpers will reduce arm pump and fatigue compared to smokers.

Finally thumpers need bigger balls to tame it.
Get yr virgin-balls an expansion kit n diamond polished by PRCs Laughing

Asrul, Just get the thumpers n knock yrself up. Mr. Green

Errr...for you champ, get a 300 smoker is more than sufficient. A thumper is great too but 350 thumper a way to go....450 or more is kinda to open wide trail. Not for tight & technical stuff. Nurse your injury champ. Cant wait for you to be back and ride together again... Very Happy

Pssstt.... Rae is waiting for you to roost you up....ha..ha..ha.. Laughing
