Dirt Rider magazine recently got ahold of pro motocross and supercross rider Mike Alessi’s MCR 450, and while you’ll have to pick up the next issue of their magazine to get the full scoop on what they thought about the bike, they give their initial impressions in a recent web post. “The bike is so fast but really easy on the arms. To my surprise I thought the bike would have this crazy amount of bottom end due to all the great starts Mike pulls, but it didn’t. It had a smooth roll on with a huge Midrange,” Dirt Rider’s Kris Keefer wrote. To read all he had to say (for now), click here.
