i would agree on that. the older 490s are just.... yuck... sure they have power... but its like riding a completely different style of bike going from the early 80's to the late 80's models.
The 350 is probley worth more money!But if having a real kick ass bike is worth more to YOU then having a soso Quad then I would say yes to the YZ .The 86 model is one of the better 490's .
Yes But the RM is quicker in almost all oither settings other then a strait up drag race.Heck in a drag race my 490 would beat my friends 08 WR450 until he shifted into 5th
I miss the old 490 (and I got in late!),kinda like discovering Hendrix after his demise ,Cool ending,......but boy ,u fell off that wall alot that day!( Ho Ho)
Yeh maybe I should of called it HUMPTY DUMPTY HAHA...I just put my new piston in yesterday and will be ripp'n soon..are you working on another MX vid?
Been working on getting a ridin mower and i think I finally have it straightened out Did some track work today widening and putting in a couple new turns in I have a crack in my rim so I wanna see if i get it welded.............Soon
I had forgotten you had/have a 490. One of the meanset bikes ever made if setup and maintained right.

i don't care what people say, all of the 490's were amazing bikes. i prefer the early 80's 490's but that's just because i like vintage.

im gonna dissagree in the HIGHEST level on that one. the two best years for the 490 is the 87 and the 89.
