Good line of thought. Not all dirtbike are the same. Although, if you can successfully operate (read: don't stall) something peaky and MX-based, like a YZ450F (pre-EFI), there is little else to learn in terms of basics. Run about on such a dirtbike for an afternoon, you will know the meaning of the words "friction zone"
