[QUOTE="snowflake, post: 98610, member: 152"] "Rumors of minor upgrades only for the 2013 YZ450F might include one about an electronically controlled steering damper. The device mounted atop the triple clamp, will use an electronically controlled hydraulic damping adjustment based off the bike's gear selection and throttle position. This is common technology on high-end street-bikes and wouldn't be a far reach for motocross" Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but the further bikes advance (yes I realize that they are getting faster and easier to ride) the higher the price goes and the harder it is for the weekend warrior to compete, it wouldn't surprise me to see asian 450 mx bikes at 10k in a couple years, how in the hell is joe blow supposed to afford all this? better yet, how is he going to maintain it all by himself too? a lot of guys can't make the jump from working on a 2 stroke motor to a 4 stroke motor, whats going to happen when basically everything on them is computer controlled? :noidea: seems to me like this sport is going the way of road racing, if you don't have the bucks you're not going to be competitive. or maybe I'm just old fashioned...........
