Bou would beat him indoors as well with no wheels in his bike.
I totally don't rate smage as a world class rider- he had his go at the world championship and couldnt hack it
i have had every rev 3 there was and several evos.
Buy an 08 rev 3- fantastic bike but get a 250 no more.
If you are going to buy an evo- don't buy an 09, get a 2010 onward, again get a 250
Maybe you should try that - at least you may find some posts agreeing with your point of view then
