Not MX, but an interesting read non the less...

I like how they make the stroker more smoker like with the clutch slipper to eliminate engine braking.

While it's a bit off topic, why is one of the most important aspects the testers care about an electric start?

Sure it could come in handy on an enduro especially at the end of a long day. But is the extra weight wanted or needed?

Then the modification of the four-stroke to make it more like a two-stroke.... hmmmm.
