[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 44604, member: 21"] All I can say from looking at that is "I wish I was going." You will have a great time. There are easier trails. Work yourself up to the tougher ones. 5MOH is a bit of a drive from Moab anyhow and is pretty much an 11 on a 10 scale. There are plenty of vid on it. 5MOH does have a few bail outs if it's just too much One thing is for sure. If I tried 5MOH on my 600 I think the trail would completely kick my ass if I didn't fry the clutch first. I'm thinking that a recent KTM 300 with the magic button would be the ticket. Something two stroke, light weight and a low first gear. A KDX200 with a fresh might even work. Those trails in the vids do look tough. It's kind of hard to know exactly what they are like because of the fish eye lenses. I mean ther eis obviously a cliff factor involved, but I'm not too clear just how extreme it actually is. I've been on plenty a trail where the tires had to go in a four inch wide track or over the cliff you go. The exposures on these rides seem a bit more extreme though. One thing I've found is since I've started gravitating to the difficult trails that I have been buying clutches a lot more often. I went years and years never replacing a clutch. Now they only last a year. If I were going to Moab. I'd bring a spare. Those vids are awesome. [/QUOTE]
