I have never owned one, but I have ridden one that belonged to a friend. Cool bike. My first enduro was a Kawasaki F8 (rotary valve 250).

Best one yet. Sent it to my dad and he loved it - he had a DT1 AND a Big Bear Scrambler (I believe his was a 350 though) after his CB160 and CB350 (? was there a CB360 as well?).

Very interesting that 'YZ' came from Jones' calling it 'A-Z'. Thanks again TBlazier for these articles.
