The height wasn't an issue (I had 22's in front and 20's in the rear on the LTR like the Z)... it was more the width. The Z just felt better in tight technical rocky stuff too... All my buddies call it ol' reliable. It just never seems to let me down. I always say I'm gonna sell it, but it's just too good a solid bike that can do it all... not the fastest bike in a straight line, but I'm right on the ass of the 450's in the woods w/o a problem...
And Thanks Dez!
